Main Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup nuts or dried fruits (e.g., almonds, cranberries)
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Clear your counter and gather all ingredients to ensure a smooth and organized process.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir between each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the pure vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the flavor.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a lined baking tray. Tap gently to release any air bubbles trapped in the mixture.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of nuts or dried fruits on top before the chocolate sets, if desired.
- Chill to Set: Place the molds or tray in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours until the chocolate bars are fully set and firm.
Notes
- Use silicone molds for easy removal of the chocolate bars once set.
- Ensure the mixture is stirred well between microwave intervals to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Customize your bars with your favorite nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
- Store the finished chocolate bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks for best freshness.
