I love me some spice in my life!
Yes, sir! That’s right.
Cinnamon, and maybe a little cayenne, ginger – they all do the trick.
And, Righteously Raw Chocolate is also one of my very favorite things.
So, we have a match made in heaven, right?

Righteously Raw Spice Bite: Whoa! Yes, “the way chocolate ought to be” with Cacao & Synergy Spice. I like spice – spiced chocolate. Cinnamon is one of my favorites , like I said, – and these puppies are S.P.I.C.Y. The Anji Panca Powder does the trick. This superfood, coupled with cayenne and cinnamon, will truly knock your socks off! (Oh, and there is creamy, crunchy filling, as well).

I think next time I’ll enjoy a few of these bite sized pieces of spiced amazingness with double scoops of raw, vegan, homemade Cherry Vanilla Ice Crème. THE PERFECT combination.

Aji Panca is a type of chili pepper that is commonly grown in Peru. It is a dark red, mild pepper with a smokey taste and fruit overtones.

For now, before I whip up the sweet, creamy ice cream, I’ll bake these puppies into to TO DIE FOR Spicy Righteous Cacao Shortbread Bites. 🌶

And, just to make sure I get my dose of RAW chocolate in for the day, I’ll nosh on a few bites of the chocolate squares just before baking! 😃

Spicy 🌶 Righteous Cacao Shortbread Squares

1/2 cup salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled (a vegan version of this recipe would use all coconut oil)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
8 squares of Righteously Raw Spice Bites, chopped

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Mix the melted butter/oil together with the flour, sugar, and baking soda, until a nice dough ball forms. Fold in the raw chocolate.

Press into a parchment lined square baking dish. Flatten and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing into spicy, decadent, buttery squares of delight!
