1. Break (or grate) the block up into smaller more manageable pieces using a blunt butter knife or grater.

2. Add the smaller pieces to a 2.5 litre pot of boiling water on medium to high oven heat.

3. Stir until the koko has fully melted, it should be a solid dark brown chocolatey colour with the natural cacao oils starting to come to the surface of the water.

4. Reduce oven heat down to a medium/low temperature and let simmer.

5. To serve, add your favourite sweetener (sugar or honey). Add milk (optional) and enjoy.

Our koko is untempered which helps it melt faster in your cup. As a result it can develop bloom.

Bloom is when the fat content separates from the koko and rises to the surface. Bloom can often look like a marbled, powdery streaky substance. This is normal in untempered chocolate and is still perfectly safe to consume.

*May contain traces of cocoa husk and cocoa nibs.
