Congratulations on your book, and thank you for sharing your exciting news! You deserve this sooooo much!!!! So excited for new developments!!! Thank you for sharing? Katie, good for you! Trying to figure out what a good budget would be without blowing the bank. I have a question…. Just dropped by to say I love the new layout. The blue green glittery one. Can you tell us where you got it?
Or is it a well-kept secret? Your friends must LOVE having you as a friend!! Aw thank you so much! Haha I feel like I still look the same as I did in high school, just with a few more wrinkles. Love the new website design, especially the section where recipes are organized by the type of diet you are on. Congratulations and thank you!
I wish there was a contact for general comments and not just under a particular recipe or article like this one. I just wanted to suggest that more recent comments would show up before the old ones under your recipes.
With older posts, I find the new comments more relevant. Just a suggestion…. Oh my goodness! I just discovered your blog and delicious recipes recently!

But what are the three main ingredients of this amazing expensive choc? Cocoa mass, agave nectar, and coconut oil! How fortuitous! I made these tonight and they taste pretty much the same I might add a touch of salt and cinnamon, and reduce the agave a little, as they were on the soft side. Or Ghirardelli. Or egg-replacer but I find the concept of egg-replacer pretty disturbing anyway….
Dang it, Australia. I also made your 1 minute chocolate cake and was very impressed. Gonna go put this chocolate in some cookie dough truffles xD. I should stay out of the kitchen.
I love finding healthy dessert recipes here. God bless you! I have been surfing the net all morning looking for a candy recipe that I could make gluten, dairy, soy, egg, corn, peanut and sugar free. I used Xylitol instead of agave. Missed your comment about adding water. Still delicious. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I could not decide what to mix in so I came up with an idea. I used plastic egg cartons and put a little chocolate in each one and then added 24 different mix-ins and used a toothpick to mix them.
So now I have a box of assorted chocolates that are good for me! I forgot to say what I added to the chocolate. That was the question after all… pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, dried cherries, dried apricots, raisins, peanuts, coconut, pepper flakes, cinnamon, peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seeds, pecans, almonds, cashews, walnuts, sesame seeds, crushed cereal, millet, dried cherries, dried peppermints leaves.
Okay I just made one of everything I had in my kitchen pretty much. So much fun! I love your site, Katie! As for add in ingredients, I was thinking I would add some toasted quinoa…it would give it a little crunch, and a little nutty flavor, plus quinoa is crazy good for you. Thanks for the awesome recipe! I cannot wait to try this, thank you so much it is hard to find sugar free recipes.
One of my favorite chocolates my mother would have around Christmas time was a dark-chocolate-orange bar. Think I may even try some orange extract added in to see how it turns out.
Thank again. You and your blog are amazing, and you are so pretty! Can I use a different oil? Can I use something that bind the bars besides oil? It does not work! It certainly is a hit! LOVE the recipe, thanks! These are very intriguing. I will be making these tonight! I can not thank you enough for posting this!!! If you are really worried about it though, you could used the refined coconut oil, which has the coconut flavor removed. Unrefined is the one that tastes like coconut.
I think someone had posted they used the unrefined and it turned out just as well. I feel your pain I hate it too! I made this today and very yummy! I put raisins in mine since I used to love Chunky Bars with raisins. I put a little peppermint extract and and they are oh so scrumptious. I want to eat the whole pan right now.
I was inspired to think of other powders besides cocoa that would work in this recipe. I thought of lemon, lime and cranberry. I put them in my Vitamix and turned it into powder. I used half cranberry, half cocoa powder. I love your idea to make powder! Oh goodness, and now I know what will happen to my freeze-dried raspberries today. Thank you so much for the great suggestion, Cara! Treat yourself to organic cacao butter instead of coconut oil.
AND it gets good and solid, even with agave instead of stevia. The recipe clearly states POUR! It hardened up but is kind of flexible when you pinch off a piece to eat it. I decided to look up the recipe and ask if anyone else had this same problem and realized that when I quickly jotted it down on paper, I wrote one cup, not one-half. I tried making this 3 times now and I still get a fudge type consistency. I give up lol. Not sure what went wrong then. How much water are you adding??
Then I mash it out flat in a ziplock baggie and throw in the freezer. Are you using Agave?? You have to keep them in the freezer. So when you put it in a baggie is it pourable or like a fudge type texture?
Maybe I need to add more water or oil then. I spoon in the mixture and then push it out with the palm of my hand. Are you using agave or stevia? That is how mine was so maybe I did it right then lol. Has anyone tried adding quinoa? I purchased a bar from whole foods with quinoa in it and it was yummy! Also — love chili powder to add a little kick.
Made these the first time with agave and they came out soft. I made them again today using nunaturals stevia could not find the vanilla one and they came out perfect. Excellent with a thin spread of natural peanut butter!! Hi Katie, great recipe!! Thanks so much. Or use the stovetop. It should be really thin. Spread out on parchment paper and fridge until hardened.
There are more than a dozen flavored SweetLeaf stevias! Happy 3 or 4 Ingredient Chocolate! Hey, even bacon could be great! I mixed these up this past weekend and put the mixture in a zip lock bag, snipped the corner and squeezed out my very own little chocolate kisses on a sheet of wax paper thanks for the recipe.
These 3 items are now staples at my house! Hey katie! So if I stir until it seperates, then just keep stirring, stirring, stirring, what do we do? I need to figure this out. It could be the difference in brands of coconut oil???
I have tried this recipe and they are just not turning out right. I took extra care to measure out every ingredient just so today, and they are still going wrong… They end up gooey with a maple-y taste. Is it too much agave? I was dying for something sweet and stumbled across this recipe.
I use it as a base but ended up using crob powderinstead of cocoa and extra stevia to make little candies with raisins and unsweetened coconut. It was truly amazing. I plan on putting it on my blog soon and will leave back to your original recipe if my inspiration.
I used this recipe to make vegan raisinets!!! Hey, i tried you recipe but i dont think it tastes how it is suppose to it does not taste llike normal dark chocolate I am just wondering if maybe that is normal?
I have a chocoholic 4 year old who BEGS me for chocolate every day. Usually chocolate chips is enough to curb her chocolate cravings, but I wanted to find something with healthier alternatives than pre-packaged chocolate. The texture turns out more truffle-like and would probably scoop out well with a melon-baller when cooled in the fridge. If anybody comes up with a way to make a more milk-chocolate version that will harden in a mold, please post!!!
HI Katie! Or just what are they in general?? You can use the agave instead. The Nunaturals vanilla stevia is the only way to go as far as stevia, just a heads up. I tried other stevias and they were too bitter. Good luck! It tastes really good but is more like a tootsie roll consistency instead of a chocolate bar straight out of the freezer. Maybe I should cool my coconut oil and then heat it? Hi Katie, first of all I just wanted to congratulate you on your genius recipes.
Anyway I was wondering if I can substitute the stevia drops with stevia extract instead? Thank you for sharing a better alternative for those of us who like chocolate without the extras. Thank you. As everyone else has said, these are amazing. Had the find an alternative to grain sweetened chic chips that are no longer available.
This recipe led me to you and all the rest of the fabulousness that is your blog. Thank you for being willing to experiment and share with the rest of us. Thank you very much for this recipe! This was the first recipe that I tried, and it seemed to work well. I used a powdered stevia and put the chocolate into molds and into the refrigerator overnight to harden. As it cooled to room temperature from refrigerator temperature the chocolate became soft and even melted a bit.
What did I do wrong do you think? In this case I ended up rolling them into balls and refrigerating. They taste great too! What can you recommend? Coconut oil becomes liquid at room temp, so these bars need to stay cold. I made these using tahini instead of the coconut oil and found that they stay together better and are a little harder with the tahini.
They are still kind of soft but definitely harder than the batch I made with coconut oil. I also mixed in some sunflower seeds and sliced almonds and pressed them into ice cube trays to make little energy squares. They were yummy! I am thinking about making this today.. Personally, I like agave. OK, for anyone having issues with this being fudgy and not getting thick as you stir afterwards I may have a solution.
Add more cocoa powder. This is the first time it has done that to me. I just kept adding cocoa until the consistency got to be thick and they way it normally is before adding to the baggies and putting in the freezer. I think it helps to stir the oil and stevia together, then stir together the cocoa powder, then add water as needed.
Last time I stirred the oil and stevia then added the cocoa and water without stirring and it made it fudgy. Hope that helps!! I am addicted to this recipe! All worked great. In a freezer bag or in tinfoil works really well. I am now supplying my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law with these as well! Perfect for me, as I am allergic to gluten and milk.
It got weird and clumpy after I added a splash of almond milk and peppermint extract looked more like chocolate coconut butter!
The next day, much to my delight I had the most decadent-tasting dark peppermint chocolate! It was very hard I kind of chiseled a piece out with a fork, lol , and crazy good. This recipe alone is enough reason for me to keep buying coconut oil!!
Mine turned out more like a frosting….. So I tried it with the stevia again and it just it so thick that I have to spread it……. I do freeze them…… They have worked before….. I actually made graham crackers, peppermint patties and the pb eggs today…..
As soon as I put the non-dairy in, the coconut oil thickened right back up. Am I using the wrong coconut oil? My whole mess tastes like coconut. Please help. Did you add any extract vanilla, peppermint, etc? That and the sweetener should mask most of the coconut flavor. I tried this recipe but I didnt use vanilla stevia i just use regular liquid stevia, idk if that was the problem but anyway i did 4 tbsp water and at first it was turning out to be a liquid mixutre but then it turned solid and it was like what a microwaved cake would look like.
Where do you get your stevia drops? Have you seen some of the new research saying that agave is not a good choice? What are your thoughts? I made these last night and almost wept for joy over the results. So tasty!! My boyfriend is not a big coconut fan and even he liked them. I like the light coconut flavor that the oil base provides though. So tasty!
If not,… when I used stevia it was way too bitter, is there a way to make it sweeter while still using stevia? Still tasted great, though! I tried to make this recipe using raw organic cane sugar. Also it does very much taste like coconut! My sister sells tea so I think I will try this but add tea ground in a spice grinder.
She has a mexican cocoa tea with a bit of a kick that makes delicious brownies and chai that should make wonderful chocolate bars I will have to find the drops to try the chocolate. Is there any replacement for the coconut oil?
Unfortunately Dr Dukan says No. Big meanie!!! Have you seen the PB2 powdered peanut butter? I made this recipe, and I used half cocoa powder, and half powdered peanut butter.
I love your idea! Thanks for sharing :. So yummy! Like most, the bars never hardened and are truffle-like in the freezer never got solid which is great for me as I love the flavor so much I plan to use it in my favorite chocolate vegan cupcakes. So I obviously did something wrong. My question is how are these supposed to be stored once they harden?
I made some with stevia and they did snap, which was nice, however, after only a few minutes they got soft again. Are these supposed to be kept in the freezer? Thank you!! I also love your deep dish chocolate chip cookie…omg. One question…. Thanks for all of your great recipes!! If you make choco chips out of these, do you think I could use these in place of other choco chips for a brownie recipe??
So much better than Hershey bars! So , I was out of coconut oil and agave when I found your recipe. I made it using honey instead of agave, and margarine instead of coconut oil and the bars turned out really, really yummy. Can you make this with brown rice syrup or stevia packets? I have ran out of agave. Really good point. Might just do that in the end. I really wish I knew more about design so I could play around with the site and see what looks best!
I love this site and have made many of the items. Sometimes there are no easily visible numbers of servings and others the nutrition facts identify the number of grams in a serving. Thanks for listening. Keep the great recipes coming! BW Amanda. As a long time follower, I just had to comment on your new look.
The site looks amazing and I look forward to seeing more delicious recipes. My personal favs are anything oatmeal related. I am an oatmeal and cocoa fiend. Best combination in my humble opinion. PS: am I the only one who find the FB thing at the top of the screen very annoying?
Could you add the dates back into the page displays for posts? Right at the top right where they were before would be awesome. Also, I love the new print options for recipes! So helpful for when I need to quickly save recipes on my computer before going a long time without internet access to load the webpages. Will add it to the list of things to ask the designer about!
However, I hate this new site. This is happening from both my phone and my computer. Ooh sorry about that! You actually saw the site in the middle of a change.
That was never the intent to keep it with one recipe per page. Notify me via e-mail if anyone answers my comment. Friend's Email Address. Your Name. Your Email Address.
