Allergy Friendly Chocolate!

Chocolate Squares- just too perfectly easy and yummy to be called Chocolate Bars.  Thankful that this little clean eating squares of  chocolate bliss are dairy free, soy free and they can also be nut free. There are lots of options because it is a pretty “safe” recipe to experiment with. Better yet- this recipe even has supportive ingredients…Cocoa & Coconut. Two of my FAVORITES!  It is possible to have healthy chocolate and the recipe is easy.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (I Like to Use Dr. Bronners)
2-4 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder, unsweetened and organic
1 Tablespoon Organic Maple Syrup1/4 Cup of Chopped Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruit or Unsweetened Coconut
1/4 Teaspoon Organic Vanilla Extract *Optional

Instructions:

1. Melt the Coconut Oil in a small pot on low. Once melted, stir in the Cocoa Powder and Maple Syrup.  Do a fork test for richness and add more Cocoa if you are wanting a “darker” chocolate.

*You can add the optional ingredients (Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruit & Coconut) in the same pan you melted in. OR

2. Pour Chocolate into silicone molds and add add-ins on the tops of each chocolate.  I prefer to do this because I like the “layered” look.

*If you do not have silicone molds- then add parchment paper to a baking sheet with a lip.  Add parchment paper and then spread out evening using a greased (coconut oil) spatula.

3. Put in refrigerator for 1-2 hours to harden and set.

This “clean” chocolate tends to melt fairly quickly.  We store it in a Glasslock Container in our UPSTAIRS min fridge.  Why?  Because it never fails…after a long day it just calls for a little square of happiness 🙂 A little note about storing in glass- we mostly use Glasslock Containers because they are made of silica, soda ash, limestone and other natural components, making it BPA free and recyclable. It is glass- so you need to be careful. We use glass rather than plastic for health reasons.

*To try something a little different try adding 1-2 drops of Peppermint or Orange Young Living Vitality Culinary Grade Essential Oil!
