Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gently melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
  2. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into a parchment-lined dish or silicone mold.
  6. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
  7. Place the chocolate in the refrigerator or freezer until completely firm, about 1 hour.
  8. Slice or break into bars before serving.

Notes

  • Add chopped almonds, walnuts, or pistachios for extra crunch.
  • Mix in dried cranberries or shredded coconut for sweetness and texture.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for contrast.
  • Stir in peanut butter or espresso powder for richer flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.
  • Serve chilled since the chocolate softens at room temperature.
