In a double boiler – see instructions below. Melt cacao butter, and coconut oil, about 2-3 mins depending on how small your cacao butter chunks are. Remove from heat.
Add 2 inches of water to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium and set a medium glass or ceramic mixing bowl on top, making sure it's not touching the water (this creates a "double boiler").
Give your chocolate a good 20 minutes to fully set. (unless of course you are anything like my daughter who will eat it slightly gooey – equally delectable)

For the sake of time, place all chocolate ingredients into a high speed blender and on a low setting blend until smooth. (helps to grate the cacao butter) about 30-45 seconds. Just be super careful not to overblend or your oils will separate, still delicious but….
* If not available sub with coconut butter, or increase coconut oil
**Can replace Cacao with unsweetened cocoa powder. Alternatively ¼ cup of each provides a great flavour
*** I prefer the middle of a fresh vanilla bean or dried vanilla, you can also use pure Vanilla extract
