Prepare the Candy Base

1. Melt Coconut Oil: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until it becomes liquid. Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, almond butter, honey (or stevia), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well blended.
3. Add Cocoa Powder: Slowly sift in the cocoa powder and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. Incorporate Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds for an added crunch and fiber boost.
5. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and, if needed, adjust sweetness by adding a little more honey or stevia to your liking.

Shape the Candy

1. Pour into a Mold: Pour the mixture into a silicone candy mold or an ice cube tray for easy shaping. If you don’t have a mold, you can spread it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to create bite-sized pieces.
2. Add Toppings: If you want to add some texture or extra flavor, sprinkle your candy with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a few dark chocolate chips on top.
3. Freeze to Set: Place the mold or tray in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the candy hardens completely. This ensures the candies will have a firm, bite-friendly texture.

Serve and Enjoy

1. Pop Out the Candies: Once they are set, carefully pop the candy pieces out of the mold.
2. Store Properly: Keep the candies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.
