We use cocoa nibs quite often. Here's a link with good ideas.<http://sweets.seriouseats.com/2010/06/what-to-do-with-cocoa-nibs-recipes-chocolate.html>Sent from my iPadOn Jan 9, 2012, at 10:10 AM, Navarro <navarrosarah@...> wrote:

This sounds yummy thanks for sharing. I just bought some cocoa nibs the other day and really had no idea what to do with them. This is a good idea. Did you just grind them up in the wet container and then continue on. Or should I use my dry container? I am going to try this. Thanks.

I grind up some cocoa nibs (health food store) add a squirt of agave or honey (or stevia, sugar-whatever your sweetener of choice is) and some rice milk (you can use any milk you wish) I buzz it up until it is thick and creamy-delish! You could make this with a few cashews thrown in for extra creaminess) You can also add a splash of coffee or espresso, a few berries (raspberry/chocolate, etc) My daughter loves just plain berries buzzed up into a hot drink-it reminds her of herb tea. You can make a hot apple cider by buzzing up an apple or two, splash of water, dash of ground cloves or cinnamon. I like hot pear juice-just buzz up a pear with a bit of water. I was born and raised in England, where hot tea is a staple, but when I developed an allergy to tea, I resorted to other forms of comforting hot drinks. Pretty much, anything goes! Enjoy!!> > >
