I made chocolate bars.
?!!
Me?
Yes. And you can, too. There are only three ingredients and you never have to turn on the oven!
Cocoa powder: 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon
Unrefined coconut oil (melted): 4 tablespoons
Agave nectar: 1/4 cup
I followed a recipe from Chocolate-Covered Katie, with the exception of melting the coconut oil. (For some reason I thought that "unrefined" meant the coconut oil was already "melted." Whoops!)
"Combine coconut oil with agave or stevia drops. Stir, then add cocoa powder (and add 3-4 T water or nondairy milk if using stevia.). Stir stir stir! Stir until it gets thick. Pour into any flat container (or candy molds or smush between layers of wax paper or in ziploc bags). Fridge or freeze until solid."
Since I didn't have any chocolate bar molds, I "smushed" the chocolate between layers of wax paper, and it never got quite as hard as I would have liked (that's what she said), but I think that's probably because I never melted the coconut oil. I will be sure to next time.
Still, the chocolate was/is some of the best I've ever tasted, honestly. This is a rock-solid recipe, and the chocolate is sugar-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free. Bon appetit!
