Main Ingredients

- ½ cup coconut oil (melted)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients
- ¼ cup milk powder (for creaminess)
- Sprinkles or chopped nuts (for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the cocoa powder into the wet mixture and add a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture well until it becomes fully combined and glossy.
- Incorporate Milk Powder (Optional): If you want a creamier texture, stir in the milk powder thoroughly at this stage.
- Pour into Molds: Transfer the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a lined baking dish. Tap the mold gently to release any air bubbles trapped inside.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle sprinkles or chopped nuts on top if desired, to add texture and enhance the visual appeal.
- Chill to Set: Place the molds or dish into the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm and set.
- Serve and Store: Once set, carefully pop the chocolates out of the molds or cut them into small pieces. Store the chocolates in the fridge to prevent melting and enjoy as a healthy, homemade treat.
Notes
- Use silicone molds with fun shapes to make the chocolate more exciting for children.
- You can add natural flavor variations like orange zest or a pinch of cinnamon to customize the taste.
