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

Hello wonderful Katie! I LOVE your book and pre-ordered it on Amazon. I’ve made so many of your gorgeous recipes and I’m spreading the word over here in the UK 🙂 I love to make your homemade chocolate bars but is there any way I can make them more like milk chocolate? Could I add dried milk powder maybe? Many thanks and look forward to your reply! 🙂
Thank you so much!! I’ve not tried it, but you can definitely experiment, and please be sure to report back if you do. I also recently saw a new product called powdered coconut milk… haven’t seen it in stores yet though!
I make these all the time. We love them.
Would this work well for making chocolate covered pretzels?
I’ve not tried, but you can definitely experiment! 🙂
Unfortunately no, as coconut oil is a liquid when heated.
Can you tell me how many bars this recipe will make? Also, if I were to substitute powdered stevia how much should I use?
Thanks
I make these all the time, thanks for the recipe! My only problem is because of the coconut oil they melt too easily to pack and bring anywhere…any possible sub for the coconut oil?
This seems great but my dad is extremely allergic to coconut. Is there anything else I can use? Please reply quickly.
I’d use one of Katie’s many other recipes that don’t use coconut.
Hi, I want to try these but have a question–will they stay solid if they are not refrigerated? Do they act like regular chocolate bars?
Thanks!

Because of the coconut oil, they need to be refrigerated.
This recipe looks awesome, but is there any alternative to coconut oil? I’m highly allergic…
