- 1/4 cup nuts or dried fruits (e.g., almonds, cranberries)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Clear your workspace and gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted chocolate mixture to enhance the flavor and balance the sweetness.
- Pour Into Molds: Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a lined baking tray. Tap gently to release any trapped air bubbles, ensuring a smooth surface.

- Store finished chocolate bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Experiment with different nuts and dried fruits for unique variations.
