Learn on how to make your own chocolate bars with coconut oil. Check out the article we found over at Butter Believer.
I love chocolate. Fortunately, for all the chocolate lovers out there, studies have proven that dark chocolate is really good for you. It is loaded with antioxidants and has many health benefits, including lowering cholesterol and blood sugar. Dark chocolate has magnesium, which helps relax the nervous system and muscles; build teeth and bones. Dark chocolate also contains copper, which is needed for metabolic functions in the body. Coconut oil is one of the most abundant sources of medium-chain fatty acids, and these nifty little triglycerides can work wonders for a sluggish metabolism.
Making your own chocolate is not hard at all. Simply mix cocoa powder with coconut oil, vanilla, salt & sugar together, and you can create a chocolate bar that is both healthy and delicious!
Coconut Oil Chocolate: The Best Metabolism-Boosting Snack
- 3/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 6 tablespoons raw cacao
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- dash of salt
Melt oil if needed. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into molds, about 1 tablespoon each. An ice cube tray works well. Place in the fridge or freezer. Sets up in about 10-15 minutes.
Coconut oil is one of the most powerful metabolism-boosting foods on the planet. I raised my body temperature (and my metabolic rate) by a full degree in less than a week, simply by eating coconut oil! It’s pretty amazing stuff.

Do you think honey would work instead of maple syrup?
