Want to make your own chocolate bars at home, but you don’t know where to start ?

There’s something extra special about making your own chocolate — especially when it’s rich in antioxidants, naturally sweetened, and studded with colorful superfoods. If you saw my latest reel on Instagram, you already know how easy (and fun!) it is to create these vibrant Homemade Dark Chocolate Bars.

This recipe uses Santa Barbara Chocolate's high-flavanol dark chocolate chips, sweetened only with coconut sugar for a clean, deep cocoa flavor. I love pairing them with sprouted cashews, freeze-dried berries, and hemp seeds for an extra crunch and a pop of natural beauty in every bite.

Super Easy Homemade Superfood Chocolate Bars!

Yield: 8-10

Author: Ligia

Prep time: 25 MinInactive time: 2 HourTotal time: 2 H & 25 M

This homemade dark chocolate bar recipe is a decadent yet nourishing treat, bursting with antioxidant-rich superfoods like sprouted cashews, hemp seeds, and vibrant berries — all wrapped in velvety, coconut sugar-sweetened dark chocolate.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need

• 2 cups Santa Barbara dark chocolate chips (sweetened with coconut sugar)
• 2 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries
• 2 tbsp sprouted cashews
• 1 tbsp hemp seeds
• 2 tbsp fresh or freeze-dried pomegranate seeds

Instructions

1. Using a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate chips over medium-low heat.
2. Once smooth, pour the melted chocolate into chocolate bar molds. (Here’s a link to the molds I use — https://amzn.to/43NxRDY)
3. While the chocolate is still warm, decorate each bar with your toppings: sprinkle the raspberries, cashews, hemp seeds, and pomegranate across the surface.
4. Let the bars set in a room that's 70°F (21°C) or cooler to naturally temper. This gives the chocolate that beautiful snap and shine.
5. If you’re using fresh fruit, keep the bars refrigerated to maintain freshness.
6. 💡 Tip: These make gorgeous gifts, perfect treats after dinner, or a nourishing mid-day pick-me-up.
