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

Was about to hit the kitchen and make is… Then I remembered I don’t have coconut oil (well I’m totally not using the jar my sister dunks her hands into the jar to use as a hair mask) so do you think anything else wood work, butter maybe? (I know not good for you but if it works, I don’t care!)
Maybe cacao butter, but I haven’t ever tried.
T Help! I’ve tried to make this twice now using agave. It sticks in the plastic candy molds I used, once I pry it out, it is either really soft and/or gritty/crumbly. What am I doing wrong? I used 2 TB water (recipe says 2-4) I stirred it a good long time. REALLY want to be successful making this! Perhaps next I will try with stevia, but I find stevia has an odd aftertaste. Anyone tried a combination like 1/2 & 1/2? Or maybe maple syrup?
Recipe says to only use water if you use the stevia version. That’s probably what went wrong for yours.
I wonder if I can make it with regular extra virgin olive oil?
Hi, I just tried to make this recipe .. only I used 2 tbsp coconut oil + 1 huge tbsp honey + 4 tbsp cocoa .. it was reaaly thick, so I had to kinda pat it in the container, but it worked… and I topped it with crushed oreos 🙂 I like my chocolate very bitter, so thats why i didn´ t add as much sweetener.. maybe I´ll try to add some liquer or milk next time, so it won´t get as thick …
Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve made it a bunch of different ways now and it’s always sooooo delicious. I’ve tried crushed up peppermints, peanuts and sea salt, and most recently I’ve made peanut butter cups. I put a little bit of chocolate in a mini cupcake liner, put in a small disc of peanut butter, and pour more chocolate on top. Best ever!
This is amazing! I can hardly wait to give them a try, but want to read through the comments first for additional ideas, and that is going to take some time!! Thanks so much for providing a treat I can actually TRULY feel good about!
Ok, I will just say that this recipe tasted absolutely terrible to me. Granted, I’m sure there are people out there that enjoy the taste of overwhelmingly bitter chocolate, but I am certainly not one of them. I don’t get it? There are so many people on here that say how delicious this is, but I just don’t see it!! I followed the recipe exactly twice. The second time, i used quite a bit more of the liquid stevia, and it still didnt even come close to tasting good. As a person who loves chocolate and is DYING to eat something sweet that is sugar free, I am super disappointed. Any ideas or tips would be great, but I think the only way to make this recipe taste good would be to dump 2 cups of sugar into it! Otherwise, yuck!
Hi, What stevia brand did you use?
I am highly allergic to coconut oil…is there another oil that could be substituted?
Sorry, I don’t know of one.
OH. MY. GOSH. I am never one to comment on recipes, EVER. But, Katie, I had to… This recipe is amazing! I added a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips (whoops) and it was the best chocolate I have ever had. And so easy! You are my chocolate idol.
P.S. I used light agave nectar and that worked really well.
How about bacon bits added? YUM!
