White and Green Chocolate Moons

Melt 1/2 cup of cacao butter and 1/4 cup of hte coconut butter on very low heat in a pot on the stove. Whisk in maca root until all ingredients are melted and combined
Pour luke warm white chocolate mixture into molds, transfer to refrigerator and let cool for 15-25 minutes or until firm
Melt remaiing cacao butter and coconut butter in another soup pot on the stove on very low heat. Whisk in moringa until combined.
Pour lukewarm green chocolate mixture into molds on top of the white chocolate. Transfer to the refrigerator and let cool for 15-25 minutes or until firm

Notes

Pour a thin layer of white chocolate first so that some of the mold is empty. This allows the green chocolate to appear.
Keep the chocolate on low and watch it closely to prevent burning
Don't over-pulse the nuts, they need to stay crumbly. Over blending will turn them to nut butter and ruin the texture.
