Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.25 cup Optional mix-ins (shredded coconut, chopped nuts, etc.)
Instructions
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, or microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments until fully liquid.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, and maple syrup (or honey) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and whisk again to blend evenly.
If using optional mix-ins (such as shredded coconut or chopped nuts), fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone candy molds or a mini muffin tin lined with paper liners. Fill each mold or cavity about three-quarters full.
Place the molds or tray in the freezer and allow the candies to set for at least 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
Once set, remove the candies from the molds or liners. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them firm until ready to serve.
Enjoy your Simple Coconut Oil Chocolate Candies as a sweet pick-me-up or homemade gift!
