- Get 3 silicone chocolate bar moulds ready. For each variety, arrange the dried fruits/nuts/seeds in one layer to cover the base. Set aside.

- Whisk in the coconut oil, maple syrup or agave and vanilla to combine, then the cacao powder until completely smooth and glossy.
- Carefully pour into each chocolate mould to reach the top and cover the dried fruits, nuts and seeds.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set - then you’re ready to enjoy!
- Keep in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.
