Coconut Oil Chocolate Hearts

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought I’d share one of my favorite (and easy) chocolate treats that I’m making for my Valentine this year. Coconut Oil Chocolate Hearts!

Coconut Oil Chocolate Hearts

My little Valentines (aka The Coconut Babies) are chocolate lovers like their mama, so this year I decided to make my simple Coconut Oil Chocolates. All you need is coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla and your favorite sweetener to create these divine healthy chocolates.

I avoid most commercial candy bars due to artificial flavors and soy lecithin in the ingredients. I found that if I mix cocoa powder with coconut oil, vanilla, salt & sugar I can produce a chocolate bar that is both tasty and healthy!

You’re going to start out by melting your coconut oil over low heat.

and vanilla bean powder, salt and sweetener. I used maple syrup!

Mixing Chocolate

Once you’ve mixed up all the ingredients you’ll want to quickly and carefully pour the chocolate into your molds. I used heart molds.
