Scale

2 cups high-quality couverture chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

1 tablespoon cocoa butter (optional)

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract or vanilla paste

Toppings: toasted nuts, freeze-dried berries, coconut flakes, etc.

Optional: 2 tablespoons agave or honey (for unsweetened chocolate only)

Chop or measure your chocolate and set aside 1/4 of it.

Melt 3/4 of the chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

Remove from heat and add the remaining chocolate, stirring to cool and temper.

Add cocoa butter, vanilla, and any sweeteners if using.

Pour into chocolate bar molds and smooth the tops.

Sprinkle on toppings and gently press to stick.

Remove from molds and store airtight.

Tempering is essential for glossy finish—don’t skip the seeding method.

Store in a cool, dry place for best texture and flavor.

Experiment with toppings to create unique profiles for gifting!
