These Homemade Dark Chocolate Bars are made from cocoa powder. These easy to make bars are rich, creamy and healthy. It has a coconut flavor with the creaminess and a real chocolate feel from the cocoa butter. Perfect when you feel like biting into some chocolate and looking for healthier

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 110 grams cocoa butter, roughly chopped
  • 4 tbsp honey (adjust the quantity according to sweetness required)
  • 40 grams unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • dash of salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine cocoa butter and coconut oil in a bowl. Place this on a double boiler and melt completely. Keep stirring the mixture occasionally until melted
  • Once melted, remove the bowl from the double boiler and sieve the cocoa powder into this liquid mixture. Whisk well till no lumps
  • Add honey and mix well. Add the vanilla essence and salt as well 
  • The mixture should be glossy with no lumps 
  • Pour this mixture into molds of your choice. I like to use bar-shaped molds
  • Let this set in the fridge for about an hour or two
  • Once set the chocolate should come out easily from the mold

Recipe Notes

Store the chocolate in the fridge if not consumed immediately 
Do not keep out for long in extremely humid weather as it would sweat 
The chocolate remains in shape and does not melt when brought to room temperature
Adjust ingredients according to your preference. You may even skip the use of vanilla essence and salt if you'd like to or even reduce or increase the quantity of honey added
