How to Prepare Maca Matcha Chocolate Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a double boiler, melt cocoa butter and chocolate chips, whisking occasionally.
Add in the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Adjust the flavor and consistency as needed (cacao powder to thicken, maple syrup to sweeten).
Pour into a 4-cup glass measuring cup.
Pour into six chocolate bar molds and let stand for 15 minutes.
Keep refrigerated.

Notes

If you use the 2 saucepan method for a double boiler, you want enough water in the bottom that it doesn’t run out and burn your chocolate, but not too much that when it boils, it splashes onto the chocolate. Chocolate and water are not friends. Your chocolate will seize up if it comes in contact with water. When everything is melted together and you are ready to pour the chocolate into molds, you can go directly from saucepan to mold. BUT… it is recommended to pour the chocolate into a 4 cup or large size glass measuring cup. It makes it much easier to pour the chocolate into the molds in a consistent manner and you reduce the risk of making a mess.
