5-Ingredient Chocolate Bars

These have, without a doubt, become my husband's favorite little treat! We could easily eat them all, but manage - most of the time - to have a wee bit at a time.

This recipe is from one of my goto sources for great, simply, healthy (most of the time) recipes on the web ... The Minimalist Baker! When I post one of her recipes, usually with my tweaks to suit our likes/dislikes, I will post the original post from her site. Please stop by and check out her recipes, subscribe to her newsletter, and support her wonderful efforts! Thank you.

Honey Mama's Chocolate Bars

• 1/2 cup cacao (or cocoa) powder, sifted
• 2 T. almond butter
• 1 T. melted coconut oil
• 3 T. raw and/or local honey
• 1 healthy pinch of a great salt - like Celtic gray salt

Optional additions:

• 1 T. cacao nibs
• whole or chopped almonds
• shredded coconut

Instructions:

1. Add sifted cacao (or cocoa) powder into a small bowl.
2. Add the almond butter, melted coconut oil, raw honey, and salt.
3. Gently stir with a spoon to combine into a thick paste. If you are doubling the recipe (and we ALWAYS do!) you can use a small food processor.
4. While mixing, you are going for a fudge-like dough with some thickness to it.
5. Put parchment paper in a small bread pan, add the fudge, cover with parchment paper, and use a second bread pan to press down the first batch. If you double the recipe, three small (really small) bread pans work well.
6. Play around with it ... add whatever ingredients you like. Today I made a double batch and put almonds in one, cacao nibs in one, and raisins in the third.
7. You can keep them in the freezer as they never get too hard to break off.
8. These are finger-licking good!!!
