Photo by recipe author

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.

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!
