Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (For coconut-free, try these Easy Chocolate Fudge Bars)

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

Love the recipe..I do have a question..the coconut oil I use isn’t flavorless and my sister hates the taste..Could I use butter perhaps in its place?
Try refined coconut oil, which doesn’t have a coconutty flavor as much
Has anyone tried doing something like this with 100% cacao baker’s chocolate bars?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
This looks delicious! Do you think Ghee or Grassfed aged Butter would work in the place of the maple syrup?
Sorry, I meant… Do you think Ghee or Grass Fed Butter would work in place of the coconut oil?
am I able to substitute the coconut oil with anything else?
I’d just use this recipe to make bars instead of chips, and use the “version for baking” that has no coconut https://lett-trim.today/2018/07/09/sugar-free-chocolate-chips-vegan/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
is there any way to make this a milk chocolate bar
Does anyone know if I can use Cocoa Butter instead of Coconut Oil?
I think I’m really late to the game on this, but I scrolled through the comments before asking this question. Do you know how many drops of the NuNaturals liquid stevia I would need to use? From what I understand it’s pretty strong and don’t want to over sweeten. That would just be a wast of ingredients.
HI I am using allulose the liquid version as my sweetner and when I add it the mixture gets really really thick and not smooth and pourable. its almost gritty once I do that. Any ideas why its happening?
How many drops of the vanilla stevia did you put? I have the same one but not sure how much I should use!
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder? what do you mean by this?
