Instructions
- *The recipe can be poured into any flat container. For the chocolate bar shape, I used this chocolate candy mold. Homemade Chocolate Bars: Gently warm oil if not already melted. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until it gets thick. Pour into any flat container or candy molds, or smush between layers of wax paper or in ziploc bags. Chill until solid, and store in the fridge or freezer. Once hardened, you can also opt to melt the bars again for chocolate sauce. View Nutrition Facts

I have a few questions. Has anyone made this with about 1/2 the amount of sugar. I’m looking for something similar to the 72% chocolate bars. I assume cutting down on the sugar would work?
Approximately how long would this last in the freezer before getting a funny taste?
This might be a dumb question, but how can you make coca butter to replace the coconut oil so that the chocolate doesn’t melt as fast when taken out of the freezer? R is there a better option?
Thanks so much
This was and is a great quick recipe! Flavor is like a smooth dark chocolate bar from a specialty shop! This is the most perfect recipe for teaching! I have used in my High School foods class and plan to use it during our foods club as well! Perfect for Special Needs class as well!! Can’t wait to make it with Grand Babies!!
I teach HS foods class once a week to Sped students. Small level IV needs school with a tight budget and it’s hard finding new things to make each year. Any suggestions for sites to get ideas?
Hi! Just wondering, for the Sugar free version. Wondering if one could use the Stevia pwdr packets in replacement of the liquid? If so, would you have to know how much to use? Tysm
Hi, The taste is amazing, and it was so very easy to make 3 ingredient chocolate. Can you tell me if it is supposed to be a soft consistency when frozen–or one that you could snap a small piece off of the bar? Mine is really, really soft.
Thanks,
Made bars with date syrup for sweetener and cocoa butter instead of coconut oil! Turned out great! Experimenting with different toppings now….
This was super easy to make and of course, delicious. We have several allergies at our house, so it’s always a blessing to be able to have a sweet treat! We subbed in a bit of dark cocoa powder, and added sea salt on top.
Thank you for this recipe!
