Cook's Notes:
Topping ideas include almonds, raisins, coconut flakes, vanilla extract, puffed quinoa, or whatever else you are creative enough for! (Hint: bacon won't make it vegan, haha, but may pleasantly surprise your omnivore friends). If using any kind of extract, add it while you mix in the cacao butter in Step 3.
If you aren't in a hurry, feel free to refrigerate instead of freezing the chocolate. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator; it can last a long time in the fridge.
