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

UGH! How many drops of stevia do you need to add? I added *80* drops to the above recipe and….OMG…STILL bitter and very little sweetness to it. What did I do wrong? I followed the measurements to a T, and even had to add an extra Tablespoon of oil. The ONLY thing different was I didn’t buy vanilla stevia, but plain. Would it have made THAT big a difference??
The vanilla stevia is much better. It also depends on the brand. What brand did you use?

Just tried this recipe for the first time yesterday and loved it. It takes less than 10 minutes to make and they look and taste great. Some variations I tried were Mexican chocolate bark by adding cinnamon and chili powder to taste, potato chip bark (amazing!), chocolate covered Oreos, and peanut butter cups. I even used some leftover Star Wars Jell-O molds and made peanut filled chocolate treats that look like Star Wars characters for the kids. I was really surprised by how great they looked considering that the molds worked terribly for Jell-O. I will make another batch tomorrow and take some pictures since the kids already scarfed em up!
