Cocoa nibs, or cacao nibs, are roasted cacao beans crushed into small pieces. They have an intense, bitter dark chocolate flavour and a real crunch, which makes them a versatile ingredient for cookies, cakes and bonbons, and a quick topping for desserts, smoothies and hot chocolate.

How Do I Use Cocoa Nibs?
Fold them into cookie dough or brownie batter, scatter them over a mousse for contrast, or stir them through cereal. Sprinkled on hot chocolate with whipped cream, they balance the sweetness. Nibs also bring bitterness and texture to savoury dishes. For more ideas on using nibs in your chocolatiering, read our blog The Curious Case of the Crunchy Cacao Nib.
