Equipment

  • chocolate mold you can purchase them on amazon for about $4 If that's not something you want to do, you can pour the chocolate into

Ingredients
  

  • 7 tablespoon cacao butter
  • 6 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 3 tablespoon coconut sugar ground up to a powder in a blender
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon cacao nibs

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting your cacao butter. Use the double boiler method (add water to saucepan, and place the cacao butter you are melting in a bowl on top of it). Keep the heat on low, you don't want to heat the cacao butter too much.
  • Once all of the cacao butter has melted, add your cacao powder and mix them well.
  • Then add your ground up coconut sugar and vanilla extract. Mix them well.
  • Take the chocolate off the heat, then fold in the cacao nibs.
  • Your chocolate is ready to pour into the mold!
  • Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes and you have your own homemade vegan chocolate.
  • To enjoy, simply break it apart with your hands, just like regular chocolate!

Notes

  • Store the homemade chocolate bars in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. You can also keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 months or the freezer for up to 6 months. 
  • Be sure to keep the heat on low when melting the cacao butter to avoid burning it. The cacao butter will start to melt between 88°F and 95°F and should not exceed 118°F.
  • For best results, use high quality cacao butter and cacao powder instead of cocoa butter or cocoa powder.
  • Allow the bars to fully form in the refrigerator before removing them from the molds.
