Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup virgin or extra virgin coconut oil
  • 200g dark chocolate or cacao (70% cocoa or higher)

Natural Sweeteners (choose one)

  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • or 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • or 2–3 tablespoons coconut sugar

Add-ins (optional)

  • 1/4 cup almonds, walnuts, or chopped nuts of choice
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or other seeds
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or orange zest

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon, chili powder, or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Coconut Oil and Chocolate. Gently melt your coconut oil and dark chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
  2. Step 2: Add Sweetener and Flavorings. Stir in your preferred natural sweetener along with vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, and any additional spices like cinnamon or chili powder to create a balanced, luscious base.
  3. Step 3: Mix in Extras. Fold in your chosen nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to introduce your desired texture, whether crunchy or chewy.
  4. Step 4: Pour into Molds or a Lined Tray. Transfer the chocolate mixture into silicone molds for bite-sized treats or pour into a parchment-lined dish to make bars, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: Chill and Set. Refrigerate or freeze the treats until firm, usually for 30 to 60 minutes. Once set, remove them from molds or cut into bars and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate with minimal additives for the best flavor and health benefits.
  • Measure coconut oil carefully to avoid greasy treats and ensure perfect texture.
  • Work quickly as coconut oil melts fast, mixing and pouring promptly to prevent separation.
  • Store treats in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from softening the chocolate.
  • Experiment with fun silicone molds to make snack time more exciting, especially for children.
