Notes

Because of the coconut oil, the chocolate will be pretty melty if you leave it at room temperature.

If you use maple syrup straight from the fridge, the texture will begin to thicken because of the coconut oil, resulting in a less fluid consistency.

The chocolate sets are better if left overnight in the fridge, so I recommend making it ahead if possible.

You can keep leftovers in the fridge or in the freezer.

This carob chocolate is delicious and suitable for children.

This recipe is also great for coating and adding to various desserts.
