Raw Mini 3 Musketeers Bars

Funny though, I told Eric what I was making and he said to me "They sound exciting, but what are they?" I guess he didn't grow up with them in Arizona.  I assumed that they were a nationwide thing, since they are very popular here in Minnesota but I guess not. In case you do not know what they are, they are a chocolate covered fluffy whipped chocolate bar.  Almost like chocolate mousse in chocolate bar form.

They were pretty easy to recreate, I just used a raw cacao and coconut butter base with enough liquids added in to keep it soft when the coconut butter firmed up.  It was a delicious mixture that tasted like chocolate mousse, so I knew it would be perfect in the bars. Once they had firmed up, I cut them, dipped them, and voila!  3 Musketeers deliciousness!  I actually enjoy these way more than the original!

Raw Mini 3 Musketeers Bars
Makes about 12

Filling:
1/2 cup raw coconut nectar
3/4 cup water
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup raw coconut butter, warmed to liquid
3 Tbsp raw cacao powder

Raw Chocolate Coating:
3/4 cup raw cacao powder
3/4 cup raw coconut oil
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar or maple syrup
a pinch sea salt

In a high speed blender, combine all the filling ingredients and process until very smooth.  Remove from the blender and scoop into a bowl.  Place in the freezer, and allow to chill until it thickens to the consistency of thick whipped cream (it will take about 30-45 minutes depending on how warm it was).  You want to whisk it every 15 minutes or so until it is chilled.  Once chilled, scoop out onto a foil lined sheet, then spread out into a 1 inch thick square using an offset spatula into a square.  Place in the freezer for an hour.
Meanwhile, whisk together the chocolate ingredients in a small bowl.  Once the filling has firmed up, cut into 12 squares.  To dip, set on a fork and dip into the chocolate, let the excess drain off, then place back on the foil.  Repeat with remaining candies. Then place the remaining chocolate in a pastry bag and drizzle it over the chocolates if desired to make them pretty.  Once they are all done, place them all in the freezer for 5 minutes to set the chocolate.  Store extra in the fridge.
