Chocolate and almonds are one of the most perfect combinations. This chocolate bar recipe is incredibly easy and made with only 4 ingredients, cacao powder, coconut oil, maple syrup and almonds. They are also made with no refined sugar and you can easily switch it up and make your favorite combinations.
This is the same chocolate recipe I used as a topper for my chocolate cake with cashew coffee icing. It’s smooth and makes perfect chocolate bars. All you have to do is mix together melted coconut oil, cacao powder and maple syrup. Then, place into molds. (You can find the silicone molds I use here.) Let them set in the freezer and then you’re done! It’s that simple.
This recipe also uses cacao powder, which gives the chocolate that rich flavor. It is much healthier than traditional cocoa powder as well. You can read more about the difference between cacao and cocoa powder here.

I used Daily Crunch’s coffee-soaked sprouted almonds in these chocolate bars. They add a delicious crunch and the coffee flavor pairs perfectly with the chocolate. Because these almonds have been soaked, they have such a wonderful, unique crunch. Additionally, the nutrients in the almonds are preserved and the soaking makes them easier to digest! You can check out all of Daily Crunch’s delicious sprouted almonds, including their new golden goodness tumeric and sea salt flavor here.
