Servings: 1
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

2 tablespoons coconut cream concentrate
1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder or carob powder
Stevia or honey to desired taste

Melt down the coconut cream concentrate until completely smooth and melted.* Slowly add cocoa powder until thoroughly mixed in and smooth.

Add in your sweetener, starting with 1 teaspoon for a rich taste and increasing to desired sweetness. Add your choice of other ingredients (see below) into this base and mix until evenly distributed.

Pour mixture into a mold, or any suitable bowl of choice and stick it in the fridge or freezer to re-harden.

Enjoy!

Notes: Sunflower seed lecithin really adds a much smoother texture and is worth adding 1/2 teaspoon to recipe.

Additional ingredient ideas:

Sprouted and dehydrated buckwheat groats, shredded coconut, nuts and seeds of choice for a great crunchy texture.

Dried fruit of choice.

Different types of herbs, spices, or superfoods such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, maca, spirulina, chlorella, etc...

Nut or seed butters.

This sounds wonderful! As soon as I can get to the store, I'm getting the stuff to make some!

Sunflower seed lecithin? I have never heard of this. Where does one obtain this ingredient, or do you grind it yourself?

I made some today; I used maple syrup to sweeten, and added a little coconut oil for good measure. :D Delicious! My husband suggested that next time, I fill the molds up 1/2, then add some coconut, finish filling the molds & add an almond on top.

Hi Melina! I tried this recipe and it was yummy. But.....it made a teeny tiny bit! LOL!

Would you say I should triple or more to make an "average" size candy bar???

Thank you!
