Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Toppings (optional)
- 1/4 cup nuts or dried fruits (e.g., almonds, cranberries)
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: Clear your counter and gather all ingredients and tools needed for easy access during the process, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil: Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, to avoid burning.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted chocolate to enhance the depth and balance of flavors, ensuring an aromatic finish.
- Pour into molds: Transfer the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or lined baking trays. Gently tap the molds to release any trapped air bubbles, resulting in smooth, evenly textured chocolate bars.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle nuts or dried fruits on top if desired, adding a delightful texture and extra burst of flavor before the chocolate sets.
- Chill to set: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate bars are firm and completely set, ready for serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute coconut oil with cocoa butter for a different mouthfeel.
- Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.
- Store the chocolate bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Allow chocolate bars to reach room temperature before eating for optimal flavor release.
