CHOCOLATE-COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9- by 23-inches. Butter the corners and sides of a 9- by 9-inch baking pan. Line the pan with the foil, leaving an overhang on two sides. Fold the overhanging foil to make them doubly thick. (This will make it easier to lift the bar out of the pan.)
• For the topping: Whisk the coconut cream with the egg white and vanilla in a medium bowl. Toss the shredded coconut with the flour in another medium bowl. Stir the shredded coconut mixture into the coconut cream mixture. Set aside.
• For the base: Whisk the flour with the cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl. Put the cookie dough on a clean work surface and dump the flour mixture on top. Knead the flour mixture and dough together until it is dark and homogenous. Sprinkle a little extra flour on the work surface, and use a rolling pin to gently press and roll the dough into a 7- or 8-inch square; don't worry if it cracks a bit. Put the dough in the prepared pan, using your fingers to press it evenly into the sides and corners.
• Scatter the coconut topping evenly over the base, making sure you cover the edges well and being sure not to press down so that the coconut mixture lies on top of the dough. Scatter the chocolate on top and press it lightly into the coconut. Bake until the coconut is a toasted golden brown, the topping seems dry and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before gently lifting out of the pan by the overhanging foil, about 20 minutes. Slice into 16 square bars.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. Alternatively melt the butter in a small saucepan. Brush some butter on the inside of a 9-by-13-inch pan and cool the remaining butter slightly. Whisk the remaining cooled butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spoon or spatula, taking care not to over mix. The batter should be thick and all of the flour mixture should be fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the edges are browned and the center is completely set, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, at least one hour, cut into 24 pieces and serve.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE RAW DARK CHOCOLATE BARS

Steps:

• This homemade dark chocolate bars recipe is so easy and has so few ingredients you can make it as often as you like. The only utensil you need is a bowl that you will put on top of a pot containing boiling water on medium heat. In the bowl goes the cacao butter. Let it melt slowly. Cacao butter is the key ingredient that makes chocolate health benefits skyrocket, so it is very important not to burn it as that would make chocolate health benefits disappear. Cacao butter is not only good in the kitchen, it actually is a well kept beauty secret as well, and can be used in soaps and creams. Check this Onehowto.com article on how to make chocolate soap. When it melts, you can add honey or agave syrup and stir gently. When those two ingredients are well combined together, you add the cacao powder. This homemade chocolate recipe calls for low fat cacao powder in order to keep dark chocolate calories low.
• Now, the optional ingredients. At this stage, the homemade raw chocolate bars recipe completely depends on your own taste. You can add a stemmed vanilla bean, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, chilli or ginger powder, or a combination of 2 of those ingredients in your homemade raw chocolate bars recipe. Just two suggestions: do not add too much of the additional ingredients, especially if you are making this recipe for the first time, as it is very easy to spoil the delicate balance of flavor. Also, do not add fat or artificial flavoring, as that would make the chocolate health benefits vanish and the dark chocolate calories go up.
• Now, give all of your ingredients one last whisk and let the mixture cool down a little, not too much as you need to be able to model it into raw chocolate bars. You can also taste your homemade chocolate now to see if you want it sweeter. To make the raw chocolate bars, form two balls and then spread each one of them on a piece of parchment paper. Fold the paper and play with the raw chocolate with your hands until you form two thin raw chocolate bars. Let them sit in the fridge and firm up for about 30 minutes.
• Now, the last step of this homemade raw chocolate bars recipe: taste your creation! And remember, you can eat (almost) as much homemade raw chocolate bars as you like because of the many dark chocolate health benefits and the very low chocolate calories.

THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE BAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour one 13x9 inch pan.
• In large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter and 1 ounce chocolate over low heat. Remove from heat, stir in 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup flour, walnuts, baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 eggs, and mix well. Spread chocolate base evenly into prepared pan.
• In a small bowl, combine 6 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat for one minute with an electric mixer at medium speed, or until smooth and fluffy. Spread cream cheese filling over chocolate mixture.
• Bake base and filling at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare frosting. Melt 1/3 cup butter, 2 ounces chocolate, milk, and 2 ounces cream cheese in large saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, and add confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat well. Use heat to soften if it begins to dry before you are ready to use it.
• Spread marshmallows over the top the chocolate bar in pan. Pour warm frosting over marshmallows. Use kitchen knife to somewhat mix the two. Let cool to room temperature. When cool, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Cut cold into small pieces.

CHOCOLATE CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Gently melt the butter, chocolate and syrup in a pan over a low heat, stirring frequently until smooth, then cool for about 10 mins.
• Stir the biscuits and sweets into the pan until well mixed, then pour into a 17cm square tin lined with foil and spread the mixture to roughly level it. Chill until hard, then cut into fingers.

VANILLA-CACAO CHOCOLATE BARS

Steps:

• Gather ingredients and preheat oven to 350˚F.
• Place cacao nibs on sheet pan lined with parchment paper and spread them out so they can cook evenly. Then, place the pan in the oven for 12 minutes or until your house smells like chocolate.
• Remove the nibs from the oven and then pour them into a food processor. Process until mixture is liquid. Make sure to push down the excess lumps and crumbs on the side.
• Once the mixture is smooth without lumps, add vanilla and salt first. After, add the maple syrup to sweeten the chocolate. Process the maple syrup only a couple of times or mix with a rubber spatula to avoid clumping.
• Pour chocolate mixture onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and flatten into a bar type shape. Note: If you cannot form a square, wait until mixture is solid, then cut into perfect shape.
• Place the pan into the fridge to solidify the chocolate. This will take at least an hour.
• Remove from fridge and cut into a bar shape. Cover in an aluminum foil wrapper and binge like you've never binged before.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE BARS

Steps:

• *The recipe can be poured into any flat container. For the chocolate bar shape, I used this chocolate candy mold. Homemade Chocolate Bars: Gently warm oil if not already melted. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until it gets thick. Pour into any flat container or candy molds, or smush between layers of wax paper or in ziploc bags. Chill until solid, and store in the fridge or freezer. Once hardened, you can also opt to melt the bars again for chocolate sauce. View Nutrition Facts

KETO CHOCOLATE BAR

Steps:

• Place 2 chocolate bar silicone molds on a flat board or plate. I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper between the mold and the plate. This prevents the silicone mold from sticking to the plate when you freeze the bar later in the recipe. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, under medium heat, melt the cocoa butter.
• When fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in stevia drops, powdered sweetener (not crystal! you don't want bits in your chocolate), and salt.
• Return to medium heat until cocoa butter slightly boils and reaches 250°F (121°C). It's the temperature at which the erythritol will dissolve and prevents a gritty texture in your chocolate.
• Remove from heat and stir in unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Stir quickly and immediately transfer the liquid into the 2 silicone molds to fill them up to the top. Working quickly prevents the cocoa powder and cocoa butter from separating and creates the most consistent bars.
• Freeze 10 minutes or until the chocolate bars are hard and fully set
• Remove from the freezer, flip over the chocolate mold onto a flat surface and peel off the mold from the bar to release.
• Store the chocolate bars in the fridge in an airtight box or at room temperature. The melting point of cocoa butter is 93°F (34°C), so if your house is not that warm, the chocolate bars won't melt in the pantry.

HOMEMADE CANDY BAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the molds on a flat surface and add what you would like to them. My favorite combos were:
• Cookies and Cream: 1 to 2 crushed Oreo cookies in white chocolate
• Homemade Symphony Bar: scant 1/4 cup of both slivered almonds and toffee bits in milk chocolate
• Rocky Road: scant 1/4 cup of both mini marshmallows and dry roasted peanuts in dark chocolate
• Dark Mr. Goodbar: 1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts in extra dark chocolate
• You really could add just about anything!
• Melt the chocolate according the directions that come with the package (they are great and really detailed!). Carefully drizzle a small amount of chocolate over the goodies in the mold. You'll add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of chocolate per mold. Gently pick up the mold holding onto the edge and raise it off the surface you are working on 3 to 4 inches. Drop the mold so that it kind of smacks down on to the table. This helps the melted chocolate to settle into the cracks and it also gets air bubbles out. Continue to carefully drop the mold 4 or 5 times until things look settled. If you need to add a bit more chocolate do it now. Drop it another time or two to smooth out any chocolate you might have added.
• Repeat until you make as many chocolate bars as you'd like.
• Let the homemade candy bars rest at room temperature until completely set. This may take a few hours depending on the temperature in your house.
• Once the chocolate has set gently remove the mold and place the candy bar in the cellophane bag that came with the mold. Store according to the package directions for storing the Chocoley chocolate (in a cool place away from strong odors).

SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• For CRUST, in large bowl, beat Butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add Sugar and Salt; beat until combined.
• Add Flour; beat on low speed until combined. Press two-thirds of the crust mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
• For FILLING, in medium saucepan, combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Chocolate Chips. Cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat; stir in Nuts and Vanilla.
• Spread filling over unbaked crust. Sprinkle with remaining crust mixture.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.
• NOTE (as written in booklet): To cut professional-looking bars with nice even sides, let the baked mixture cool completely so the block has time to set up. For softer bars, refrigerate the baked block for a short time before cutting.

CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE ENERGY BARS

Steps:

• Place cashews, almonds, coconut, dates, cocoa, coconut oil, vanilla, cold coffee, cayenne and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off to start. Process about 1 minute; check to ensure mixture is sticky and moist enough to stick together. Add more coffee if needed. Continue to process until mixture becomes a chunky mass.
• Line a baking pan with plastic wrap. Scoop mixture into pan. Press down with a spatula until mixture is even. Place a layer of plastic wrap on the surface and smooth again with your hands.
• Refrigerate until cold and firm, 2 or 3 hours.
• Remove from the pan and unwrap. Cut into bars of your preferred size. Store in a zip top back in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F and generously coat a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray (I lined with non-stick aluminum foil, allowing excess over sides of pan so I can lift them out to cut).
• Beat together butter, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla in medium-size bowl until well blended.
• Mix in flour, salt and 1/3 cup finely chopped hazelnuts.
• Press evenly in prepared pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until top is golden brown.
• Remove pan to wire rack and cool 10 minutes.
• Spread top evenly with chocolate-hazelnut spread, then sprinkle with remaining hazelnuts.
• Chill to set top, then cut into 24 bars.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHIP CLIF BARS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sunflower seed butter, honey, vanilla, and salt and stir constantly until melted together.
• Remove from heat and in a large mixing bowl combine the cereal and sunflower butter mixture, stir until well combined.
• Place bowl in the refrigerator and allow the cereal mixture to cool for about 10-15 minutes. This is important to prevent the chocolate chips from melting when added.
• When the cereal mixture is cooled, fold the coconut, sunflower seeds, and chocolate chips into the cereal mixture. With clean hands is easiest.
• Line a 9×13-inch baking pan or dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the pan and using your hands, firmly press the dough into the pan, spreading out evenly. For a thicker bar use an 11×7-inch or 9×9-inch pan or dish.
• Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.
• Bars will keep up to two weeks in a covered container in the fridge (or freeze for longer storage).
