Homemade Chocolate Chips

I've tried a couple different recipes when it comes to homemade chocolate chips, but this one is definitely the winner! 

I don't know why but I just love the thought (and taste) of homemade choc. chips. I think it has something to do with successfully making something I would have never thought possible. 

Unfortunately I went a little nuts while making these and ate WAY to much chocolate. My stomach was very angry with me for the next few days. It seriously took like 3 days to get out of my system. By the time I was finished making these I couldn't stand the thought of chocolate, bananas, peanut butter, or anything else even remotely sweet. Despite these feelings, I was up and eating choc. chips after breakfast the next morning. Silly, silly! 

Oh, and I finished off these 2 pans in about 4 days. Oh yeah!

I adapted this recipe from mygutsy.com by the way.

Homemade Chocolate Chips

INGREDIENTS:

3 oz Baker’s Unsweetened Chocolate

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp sea salt 

1/2 – 3/4 cup raw honey (depends on how sweet you like it –just taste test it!)

1/2 cup Raw Coconut Oil ( vegetable oil works too. DO NOT use olive oil though)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt your chocolate in a double boiler (or make your own and put a bowl over boiling water)

2. Let your chocolate cool a little 

3. stir in your coconut oil, honey, vanilla, salt

4. Your mixture will be very liquidy. You want the constancy just right. It needs to resemble peanut butter/Nutella. Either put it in the fridge for 1-3 hours (keep checking it because you don’t want it to turn solid!) Or you could leave it in a dark cool cabinet for many hours until it solidifies a little. (This is what I do because I like to forget about it and do something while I am waiting)

5. To Prepare your cookie sheet, line it with parchment paper or tin foil. Freeze your cookie sheet to keep it cold (this helps hold the shape of the chocolate point)

Enjoy!!!
