Chocolate and coconut bars
Ingredients
- 200 g coconut oil
- 100 g grated cocoa
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
For the chocolate base:
- In a saucepan, heat the oil gently and add the cocoa, honey and vanilla extract, stirring constantly.
- When the mixture is homogeneous and all the ingredients have been well incorporated, it is time to pour the chocolate mixture into the silicone mold and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
The chocolate will already have the coconut flavour, but we encourage you to add various decorations. So, optionally, once you have the chocolate base prepared, you can add other ingredients to give an extra touch of flavour to your chocolate bars, such as: dried coconut flakes, grated orange peel, a little peanut butter, some chopped walnuts, a little ground cinnamon on top... Let your imagination run wild!
You can also mix a few spoonfuls of puffed rice, chopped dried strawberries, chopped hazelnuts, etc. into the chocolate. Think about what flavours you want to discover that you think would go well with coconut, and try to integrate it into the base recipe or as decoration for the bars.
Remember that with the set you can make dark chocolate, milk chocolate bars or white chocolate bars . You just have to melt your chocolates or mix them. (You can use some cream to make it shiny and melt well). Then, to make bars, you can mix it or decorate it with:
- Pieces of nuts (of all kinds, from hazelnuts to almonds, pistachios, cashews...
- Remember that salt flakes decorate and create a magnificent contrast with the chocolate.
- Various dried fruits: pineapple, coconut, orange, banana, strawberries, cherries ... There are so many fruits that go well with the flavour of chocolate!
- You can infuse the chocolate with tea (infuse the cream you'll add to the chocolate) or add a touch of liqueur . There are also many extracts you can add, from green flavors like mint to sweeter flavors like vanilla.
- Play with spices : from cinnamon to pepper, do you dare to try?
- Inside and out : Remember that you can use these ingredients and flavors to mix with the melted chocolate before cooling it in the mold, or you can use them to decorate your bars. Or a combination of them!
Remember that the Boska set has a great advantage: you can make 7 identical bars, and it also allows you to make different bars in the easiest way, so you can try out which ingredients combine best with your palate.

*You can use the same recipe for the chocolate base to make bonbons, but remember that the world of bonbons is a bit more complex, but with the Boska mould it will be very easy to make them. You can make bonbons with fillings, or with different types of chocolates. I really encourage you to try it too. It is a unique gift and it will look exceptional!
