homemade chocolate bar!!!
Stir together eg with a silicone spoon:
¼ cup cocoa powder (your favorite one; not
Dutch process if possible which has a weird aftertaste and anyway has gotten
rid of antioxidants)
¼ cup coconut oil at room temperature (I actually
prefer for this a coconut oil that isn't super coconut-y in flavor, such as
Whole Foods brand; but if I were going to make this a coconut chocolate I would
use my favorite, Vitacost brand, which is nicely coconut-y) (note if you have coconut
butter which is just a version of coconut oil that's a bit harder you may want
to try it – I haven't – for a bit harder chocolate bar)
1 Tblspn or a
tiny bit more honey
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Spread out a bit on a piece of waxed paper large enough to
fold over generously. Then fold over to cover and press out until pretty thin
(maybe 1/8"). Score it a bit on top of the wax paper top with a table
knife if you'd like.
You could even decorate it a bit at that point (with
decorative scoring or, with the "lid" off, things like a few nuts and/or
dried fruit and/or coconut).
Be sure it's covered nicely in its paper and refrigerate at
least 3 hours.
Unwrap and break apart and store with the same waxed paper
torn apart keeping the layers separate. You'll probably have to keep it in the
refrigerator.
Much adapted from
eatbeautiful.net; they have a nicely detailed alternative I haven't tried that
uses cocoa butter if you can source that. But I adore this; it tastes just like
the chocolate bars I normally get but costs a fraction of their price! inc that
it does not require those expensive moulds (which may not work great with such
a thick "batter" as I think they're designed to pour in the chocolate).
