  2. Carefully remove bars from molds and dip each in the melted chocolate.
  3. Set the dipped bars on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.
Storage

Notes

For a fun twist, roll the chocolate-coated bars in chopped nuts or shredded coconut before they set. Use organic ingredients for best flavor.
