Today I'm going to share a delicious dairy free homemade chocolate bark recipe. Like the homemade chocolates recipe that I shared with you last month, this recipe has onlyfour main ingredients (plus optional add-ins) and takes justtwo minutes toprepare.

It’s so quick and easy to throw together that you could quiteliterallybe eating your very own homemade chocolate 15 minutes from now!

The secret ingredient for making this chocolate is coconut oil, something that has truly revolutionised my chocolate eating life! It's becoming ever easier to find - as well as inhealth food shops you can now usually find coconut oil in most big supermarkets too.

Coconut oilis apparently the latest super food, seemingly curing almost everything under the sun if theinternet is to believed, but whilst Ican't offer anyexpertise on itsmuch toutedhealth benefits,I can tell you thatit definitely tastesgood!

This chocolate bark recipeis completelydairy free, gluten free and free from refined sugar, so healthier than standard shop bought chocolate at least. It's also a great one to make with children- there's a lot of pride to be foundin making their own chocolate from scratch.

Dairy Free Homemade Chocolate Bark

Ingredients

• 100g coconut oil
• 6 tbs cocoa powder
• 2 tbs maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional extras

• Handfulraisins
• Handful pecannuts halves

Method

Line a small baking tray with baking paper. The tray should be small enough to fit into your fridge or freezer.

Measure out the coconut oil and drop into a heat-proof jug. Pop into the microwave and heat at short 10-15 second intervals, stirring in between,until the oil has completely melted and is clear.

Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla essence to the coconut oil. Quickly stir until fully combined andsmooth.

Pour all of the chocolate onto the prepared baking tray and spread out over the tray with the back ofthe spoon.

Working quickly, scatter the raisins and nuts (if using)evenly over the top of the chocolate. I usedraisins which added a little extra pop of sweetness and pecan nuts because that's what I hadto hand that day, but you could use any dried fruit or nuts or leave them out altogether if you’d prefer the chocolate to be plain.

Place the baking tray into the fridge or freezer until set, which should only take around 10 minutes or so. Once set, break or cut the slab ofchocolate into smallerpieces.

Store in an airtight box inthe fridge until ready to eat – after a while in a warm roomthis chocolate will melt and get quite soft.

Enjoy!
