Method

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, transfer to a bowl and whisk in unsweetened cacao powder, maple syrup, and salt until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Pour the chocolate mix into small chocolate molds. You can also use a regular baking tray.
  3. Place them in the freezer/fridge to harden for a few hours. If using a regular baking tray, cut the chocolate into pieces with a sharp knife.

Notes

  • Because these confections are not made of tempered chocolate, they will not hold their shape at room temperature. They must be stored in the fridge or freezer.
