These homemade chocolate bars pretty much make themselves.

It’s especially fun to customize the flavor – Chocolate Mint? Chocolate Coconut? Chocolate Chai?

The sky is not the limit with these addictively delicious chocolate bars.

They taste like eating the coating right off of a chocolate Dove bar.

Homemade Chocolate Bar Flavors

Crunchy Mint Chocolate: Add a few drops pure peppermint extract to the melted chocolate. For a fun texture, feel free to also add cacao nibs or rice crispy cereal.

Dark Chocolate Almond: Stir a handful of chopped almonds in with the other ingredients. This can also be done with diced walnuts, peanuts, or cashews.

Chocolate Coconut: Stir in a handful of shredded coconut, or sprinkle it over top before chilling the chocolate bars.

Chocolate Sea Salt: After pouring the melted chocolate into a container, sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on top.

Rocky Road: Add mini vegan marshmallows and chopped nuts of choice to the mixture before refrigerating or freezing.

Peanut Butter Swirl: After pouring the chocolate into a container, use a spoon to swirl in melted peanut butter or almond butter. Chill until firm.

Espresso Chocolate Bars: Stir 1/8 tsp instant coffee granules in with the cocoa. For a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase this amount as desired.

Other flavor ideas and add-ins include chia seeds, hemp seeds, freeze-dried strawberries or banana, dried blueberries, crushed pecans or pistachios, a pinch of cayenne, rainbow sprinkles… the possibilities abound!

Sugar Free Chocolate Bars

For low carb, sugar free, and keto chocolate bars, combine the following in a bowl until smooth: 1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, and vanilla stevia drops to taste.

Pour into a small shallow container or candy molds (If it’s too thick, add 1 additional tbsp oil), and chill until hard. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.

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.

    Can you substitute the coconut oil with something like flaxseed/linseed oil? Or would that mean it wouldn’t set? I really don’t like coconut!

  2. Irini S. says:

    Thank you for seeing me on your page

    I will fix it with popcorn for my grandchildren who love chocolate

  3. Lynn says:

    Can you make a ganache with the finished product?

    Love your recipes. Recently I have been finding that eliminating white flour and white sugar from my diet mostly eliminates my knee pain, and your recipes have been a godsend!

    1. Unofficial CCK Helper says:

      Sure you can! Just refrigerate the frosted product to set the ganache.

  4. mariah says:

    Can you use a powdered Stevia or does it need to be liquid??

  7. Shari says:

    Can you please tell me how many drops of the liquid stevia you use?

    1. JJ says:

      Katie replied in another comment saying: It *really* depends on your taste buds. I use 20 or so, but some people use up to 40.

  8. Holly says:

    Hi…your directions don’t tell you to mix the cocoa in with it….

  9. simone says:

    I made this with agave today and it satisfied my chocolate cravings. 🙂 I was wondering how many drops of the vanilla stevia you usually use.
