Homemade Chocolate Bar Molds

These molds are a great option for making these chocolate bars. Of course you can use all kinds of other shapes, but those will make a pretty authentic looking chocolate bar.

Recipe Notes

  • Sweeteners: You can use any granulated sweetener for this recipe. Liquid will work as well. For stevia, see this post on how to Use Stevia) for more information. I recommend using a mixture of alternative sweeteners as this will result in a better flavor.
  • AIP: For AIP, substitute organic carob powder for the cocoa and use an AIP sweetener. Use coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Of course the bar won’t be low-carb, but you can enjoy a delicious treat on your AIP diet.

  1. Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I visited an allergy doctor. He tested me for one food item and that was honey. Thank goodness I’m not allergic at all! He said, you might have a food sensitivity to those other items on your list and if they bother you, don’t eat them. Well, I haven’t for a long time, so I told him, I want to know why I have problems with them, that’s why I came to you, so he put in an order for the GI doctor and he said they could test me. My primary doctor put me on the Mediterranean Diet which has a lot of different food items on it then what we are used to eating, so I’ve been contacting the university’s School of Pharmacy to see what I can drink/eat that won’t interfere with my medications after I ordered several herbal teas that had medical warnings on the back of the boxes, so I’ve learned that some of the so-called natural teas bring on side effects such as balm can raise your blood sugar, so diabetics should not drink it and several of the other teas can lower your blood sugar, etc. Just thought I would update you on what I’ve learned so far.

    1. Thanks for the information! Yes, herbs and other plants can do things like that….plants are sometimes used as the basis for pharmaceuticals, and there is also herbal medicine and some people use essential oils therapeutically and they are made from plants. 🙂

      1. After several tests, I’ve learned I have lactose and fructose malabsorption, Gastritis, GERD, gastroparesis and I’m in the challenge phase of a Low Fodmap Diet. I’m basically having to rebuilding my recipe base. Fun times around here! 🙂

        1. So sorry for the delay in responding. I hear you it can be a lot. If it’s any help at all – my son just got over his life threatening allergy to dairy – there’s a little more info here but I do think there is hope. wholenewmom.com/about-me/. Stay tuned. Hang in there. ♥️

          1. Hi, I am Chris and hope you don’t mind me asking a question about the chocolate bars. I was wanting to make a protein bar with oats, nuts, and shredded coconut. I want to do a chocolate topping like your bars. If I was going to use say Whey Protein Isolate unflavored would I mix that into the melted chocolate and maybe add vegetable glycerin so that is is firm but not say real hard like a chocolate bar? Thank you.

            1. Hi there – so sorry about the terrible image on this post. It desperately needs to be redone. Are you referring to the protein bars that you are trying to mimic?
