Ingredients
- ¼ cup virgin coconut oil See notes below
- ¼ cup cocoa powder Unsweetened, Dutch-processed
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 ounce almonds Roasted, unsalted, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Place the coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. If it's solid, microwave it for 20-30 seconds to melt it.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the melted coconut oil. Use a small rubber spatula to combine.
- Mix in the honey.
- Mix in the chopped almonds.
- Spoon the mixture into a candy silicone mold. These molds are flimsy, so it's a good idea to place the mold on a tray or pan that would fit in your freezer. The mold I typically use isn't currently available on Amazon, but here's a similar one. Freeze the mixture for 20-30 minutes until completely set.
- Gently release the chocolate pieces from the mold.
- Enjoy immediately or refrigerate overnight for improved texture.
Notes
- The chocolate sets better and becomes less melty the next day, so I recommend making this recipe a day ahead.
- You can use any type of chopped unsalted nuts, such as pecans, which I used when filming the video. They can be salted (if you like sweet-salty flavor combinations) or unsalted.
- For less melty chocolate, use 2 ounces (¼ cup melted) of food-grade cacao butter instead of coconut oil.
- I only made this recipe with real honey, so I don't know how other liquid sweeteners, including maple syrup, would affect the texture.
- This recipe makes 4 servings. The exact number of pieces you get will depend on the mold you use. The mold I typically use makes 10-12 pieces. Other candy molds will yield a different number of pieces. You can also use a chocolate bar mold.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Take them out of the fridge right before enjoying them.
