Instructions

Melt coconut oil and maple syrup in the microwave just until it melts. In my microwave this takes about 30 seconds. 2 tbsp coconut oil, 4 tbsp maple syrup
Add cocoa powder to the melted mixture and stir well so the cocoa powder dissolves. 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Remove from heat and add vanilla. 1/4 tsp vanilla
Pour into a small baking pan lined with parchment paper to cool. If preferred, pour melted chocolate mixture into silicone molds or chocolate molds.
Allow to cool to room temperature, and then store in freezer to set. Keep chocolate in freezer until you are ready to eat.

Healthy Eating Plans:

21 Day Fix

This 21 Day Fix Homemade Vegan Chocolate Recipe contains both oil teaspoons that each plan gets as well as sweetener teaspoons mentioned in the Coffee bar section - everyone gets 4 per day. The sweetener teaspoons are a small "loophole" in the Fix. If you're not using the sweeteners in your coffee, you can use them for other things like these pantry chocolates!

These chocolates have just over 1 oil teaspoon per serving, and just over 2 sweetener teaspoons per serving.

Recipe Tips:

You can also melt coconut oil and maple syrup using a double boiler. We prefer the microwave method because it requires less clean up.
When your homemade chocolate bars are complete, feel free to add toppings to the top. We like crushed peanuts, unsweetened coconut, or crispy quinoa. You could also sprinkle a little coconut sugar or sea salt on top.
Store the chocolate in an airtight container in the freezer. It's the perfect sweet treat to pull out when the chocolate craving hits.
