Melt the cocoa butter gently in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
Add the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully mixed and glossy.
If desired, stir in optional ingredients like nuts, dried fruit, or a pinch of spice for flavor.
Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined pan. Tap gently to remove any air bubbles.
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.
Once firm, remove the chocolate from the molds and store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
