This simple 3-Ingredient Chocolate Bar transforms pantry staples into glossy, homemade chocolate in just minutes. With healthier ingredients and adjustable sweetness, it sets into a rich, cocoa-forward bar that’s naturally dairy-free and refined sugar-free. Melt, whisk, chill — that’s it.
5tbsp (2 1/2 fl oz/74ml)maple syrup, room temperature
2/3cup (55g)unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
Instructions
Add the coconut oil to a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Warm over low heat (or microwave in 15-second bursts) until fully melted but not too hot.
Remove from heat and whisk in the maple syrup until combined. Make sure your maple syrup is room temperature before adding. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the chocolate mixture into your silicone chocolate molds. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Pop out of molds and enjoy. Chocolate should be eaten soon after it is out of the refrigerator. It does get a little melty and soft if left out at room temperature. Keep uneaten chocolate stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
I used these silicone chocolate molds.* The recipe as written will make 2 large chocolate bars (6.3 x 3.1 x 0.4 inch) using these molds. The set includes 4 molds so you can also double the recipe to make 4 large bars.
