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.

Ingredients

- 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
- 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
Notes
- 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, maple syrup, or sugar free syrup
