Superfood Chocolate Bars

After some amazing rosemary and garlic bacon wrapped chicken drumsticks (highly recommended!) I had a bit of a sweet tooth. The following recipe really hit the spot!

This delicious, low sugar, vegan, superfood-filled recipe is a slight variation of this recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie. It's is a great way to get your chocolate fix without dairy and (little to no) sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1-2 droppers full of liquid stevia
  • 1-2 tbsp maples syrup or honey
  • 1 serving greens powder (I used Greens+)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs
Directions: Melt coconut oil in a pan over low heat. Stir in cocoa powder until dissolved. Add sweeteners above or to taste. Stir well until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in greens powder. Stir in remaining ingredients (optional). Pour into a parchment-lined baking pan or glass container. Freeze for 20 minutes or so, remove and chop into pieces. Freeze to store.
