Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips (this is the original way) I used 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, just to make them a little less sweet.
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup halved unsalted peanuts, you could substitute salted peanuts
  • 1 tsp solid refined (no smell or flavor) coconut oil, this is to harden the chocolate faster and keep it solid

Instructions

  1. Fastest way, melt chocolate (leave out 2 tablespoons) in a microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup with the solid coconut oil. Turn on 25 seconds, take out stir, put back in for 20 intervals, while stirring until chocolate is melted and shiny. Then add in the last 2 tablespoons of chips. This will temper the chocolate to keep it's shape. Stir until the chips are melted into the chocolate and keep stirring until shiny again. 2) Add in peanuts and raisins and stir gently. 3) Fill each mold (Ben, see photo of molds above) to almost the top. Remember Chunky Bars are thick. Let sit on counter for 10 minutes. Then, place the moldshttps://amzn.to/3Psp0hj on a cookie sheet and place in freezer for about an hour. Unmold them and the Chunky bars should be set up and be able to be stored on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge up to a week.  Enjoy!
