Notes
-
- We often make homemade chocolate, as it is sometimes simpler and easier to make (and healthier). Use this simple 3 ingredient homemade chocolate recipe in place of chocolate chips, if desired.
-
- These bars freeze and thaw well, making them a great addition to your freezer meal plan!
-
- The coconut oil helps harden the chocolate in this recipe. If you do not like coconut, you can use another neutral flavored fat or butter.
