Cacao Bean Question

[SandyGrl777]

I looked at a few Cocoa Bean threads but could anyone give me an idea some ideas on how to use them...I saw then at my health food store and was so excited so I bought them but a small bag until I know what to do LOL

Thanks

I have never bought cacao beans. I buy either nibs (broken beans) or powder.
I've heard some folks say they grind them. So...guess you could either grind into a powder OR chop and use like one would the cacao nibs? I use them in my gRAWnola.
I love 'em.

I made brownies with them this week. They were ok. On the bag of them I have it says to eat them plain with a little agave.

I've just thrown them into the Vitamix and it made it into a powder. Prefer the powder and nibs.
