Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil: Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it is fully liquefied, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
- Mix ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and uniformly combined with no lumps.
- Pour mixture into molds: Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into candy molds or a tray lined with parchment paper, spreading evenly as needed.
- Refrigerate to set: Place the filled molds or tray into the refrigerator. Allow the chocolate to chill and harden completely for about 1 hour.
- Remove and serve: Once the chocolate has set firmly, remove it from the molds or slice it into pieces if set on a tray. Enjoy your homemade melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate!
Notes
- For a firmer chocolate, use less coconut oil or add a tablespoon of coconut butter.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.
- Store the chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent melting.
- Add nuts or dried fruit to the molds before pouring the chocolate for extra texture and flavor.
