Melt the base:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil or cocoa butter until fully liquid.

Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
Sweeten it:
Stir in the maple syrup (or preferred sweetener), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well.
Pour into mold:
Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined tray. Add toppings if desired.
