Recipe Collection: Chocolate Bars

Written by Letitia chocolate is so easy to make at home, and it can actually be kind of healthy (if you read our blog Health Benefits to Chocolate, you already know the deal)!

My mom occasionally makes a similar recipe. Actually, this is her recipe that I’ve since adapted to fit my taste. Are you ready? Seriously, this is the best chocolate and so easy to make!

Homemade Chocolate Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cacao powder
• 1 cup coconut oil (could probably be lessened a bit)
• 1 cup coconut palm sugar (This can be lessened or increased depending on taste. I did 3/4 a cup, and it still tasted great.)

Optional add-ins: almonds, coconut flakes, vanilla, cinnamon, peanut butter, dried fruit, Cream Cheese Frosting for filling, Butterscotch Sauce, etc. Basically anything you can imagine that you would like to add. This time, I decided to add chopped walnuts and dried blueberries. I also did some with a layer of this recipe, cream cheese frosting, and covered in melted baking chocolate.

Directions:

Step 1: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stick it in the refrigerator.
Step 2: After a few hours, take it out, and it’s done. Now that’s my kind of cooking.

All done! Now it is in the refrigerator to harden so I can partake of its yummy delectable-ness. You will need to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer because coconut oil will liquify at around 76ºF (unless, of course, you want chocolate sauce).

Have you ever made chocolate at home? If not, what’s holding you back?
