This homemade chocolate is made with a few ingredients – that (if you’re like me) already exist in your kitchen! It is a healthy twist on your traditional chocolate bar.
Yes, it is vegan and yes it is gluten + dairy-free. Obviously, you can use whatever additional ingredients you would like but I thought it would be a good idea to stick with the festive fall spirit and use pumpkin seeds.
The best part of this homemade dark chocolate is how easy it is to make! I still cannot get over it. I will definitely be making more batches of this deliciousness.
Add a pinch of sea salt to taste. Stir in pumpkin seeds.
In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa (or cacao) powder, maple syrup, and almond butter (if using) until smooth.
