Homemade Chocolate Bars
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (For coconut-free, try these Easy Chocolate Fudge Bars)
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey, or agave (A sugar-free option is written out above)
- optional extracts, cocoa nibs, chia seeds, or other add-ins
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

just out of curiosity, what are the healthy benefits of eating this rather than a chocolate bar? how do the two compare? i made this tonight and it was SOOOOO good!!
Can applesauce be used instead of the oil?
I’ve read only the coconut oil will work.
Made theseto take on a camping trip to make s’mores. So much better than Hershey bars! Yum!
i made these tonight! what are the health benefits to eating this rather than store bought chocolate?
Hey! So , I was out of coconut oil and agave when I found your recipe. I made it using honey instead of agave, and margarine instead of coconut oil and the bars turned out really, really yummy. Thank you!
Can you make this with brown rice syrup or stevia packets? I have ran out of agave. What about adding coconut to this? looks great and cannot wait to try! Thanks.
I haven’t tried it with the br syrup, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

This recipe has changed my life
These are not “healthy”. Coconut oil is saturated fat and is just as bad for you as butter.
Wow what am i doing wrong. I did as above with 20drops of stevia and the extra water. I couldnt pour for anything. It was like batter. Thick and almost like i could roll it.. Not pour. I was so excited. Did you heat this or something after combining. And it tasted ummm awful. I used hershey extra dark cocoa.
Help!

I make these non-stop and keep them in my freezer at all times. Last time, I added dried cranberries and chia seeds. The chia seeds are a great way to consume their benefits! Also great with shredded coconut, roasted almonds, macadamias, etc.
I found these on Pinterest under “SCD Recipes,” but, alas, cocoa powder is not SCD legal. :o)
what is SCD? you can use carob powder
How would you go about making this into milk chocolate easily?
Hi,
I am wondering how well these chocolate bars would travel? In other words how likely are they to melt in a suitcase?
Not well 🙁
I just made this with about 2 T sugar and 1/2 packet of Starbuck’s Caramel Via.
YUM 🙂
I made these but added almonds and 1 tsp of almond extract. AMAZING!! Thanks to you I now have a healthier alternative to Hershey’s Almond Chocolate bars. (Also, I was able to buy a chocolate bar mold at the A.C. Moore Craft Store if anyone reading this post was wondering where to buy one on the East Coast).
