Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1.5 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line a square 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.
Step 2
Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
Step 3
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt until evenly combined.
Step 4
Add the shredded coconut to the chocolate mixture and stir to coat all the coconut evenly.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Press down gently to compact the mixture.
Step 6
Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 7
Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Step 8
Cut into 16 squares or chunks using a sharp knife.
Step 9
Store the chocolate coconut chunks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
