Description
When recipes call for dark chocolate or chocolate chips, I typically make some variation of this recipe. This chopped up bar of chocolate works great as a replacement for chocolate chips in all recipes, such as Almond Butter Date Brownies, Edible Cookie Dough Bites, or my Double Chocolate Banana Bread. Each serving is half an ounce (14 g)

Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin coconut oil
- 11 tbsp Cocoa powder
- Optional small pinch Salt
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- In a glass bowl, melt the coconut oil in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir in cocoa powder until smooth. Optionally, add a small pinch of salt
- You can either sweeten your chocolate bar, or choose to leave it unsweetened. I prefer the latter, but if you want it sweeter, I'd recommend either 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) liquid monk fruit or stevia, or 1 tbsp (20 g) honey or maple syrup
- Pour into a chocolate mold (a parchment lined bread pan will also work). These are the ones I have. A full batch of the chocolate will make 2 of these thin bars
- Chill in the fridge for at least an hour (or freeze for 15 minutes) to set before using
