chocolate - Dark Chocolate Chunks with Fleur de Sel Recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup quality organic coconut oil - Note: if you do not want your chocolate to taste coconutty, you can opt for quality refined expeller-pressed coconut oil, which does not have a coconut flavor.
3/4 cup organic cocoa powder
3/4 cup liquid sweetener—honey, maple syrup,organic molasses, or a mix
1 tsp vanilla extract OR a good scraping of vanilla beans
A pinch of salt (can omit if you’ll be salting the finished chocolate with fleur de sel)
Optional: Fleur de sel (this is a fancy, flaky, delightfully special salt to be sprinkled onto treats like chocolates or caramels

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan, then add in the rest of the ingredients (except the fleur de sel). Whisk together thoroughly.

To make chunky dark chocolate bars, line a baking dish with parchment paper, and pour in the chocolate. Refrigerate until hardened (it doesn’t take very long). Then, either cut into bars or break into chunks. If you want to add a sprinkling of fleur de sel, do so! It’s delightful! Be sure to store your chocolate in the refrigerator or even the freezer so it doesn’t get melty. Coconut oil liquifies at 76 degrees.

You can also use this chocolate for dipping things like fruits, nuts, marshmallows, or pretzels (one of my favorites!) like you see here:
