You’ll never want to buy an overpriced gourmet chocolate bar ever again once you see how easy it is to make this raspberry chocolate bar at home. Packed with fibre and antioxidants and she looks so fancy, don’t you think?
Easily customisable to taste and you don’t really need any equipment to make them. Don’t have a chocolate mould? No problem – there’s no need for one. A loaf tin or even a baking sheet will do the job.
Why I love making this raspberry chocolate bar:
I love raspberries and peanut butter – the two gel so well together. Think PB&J, but grown up. Raspberry is often used in high-end jams, and peanut butter is its most iconic partner. Raspberries bring a natural tart-sweet brightness, while the peanut butter adds a salty, nutty richness. The acidity in raspberries also cuts through the dense, creamy texture of peanut butter perfectly.
By making my own chocolate bar, I can create a treat that is:
-
Lower in sugar (by choosing a chocolate bar lower in sugar and not using any added sugar).
-
Higher in fibre (thanks to the fresh raspberries)
-
Richer in healthy fats and protein (from the peanut butter).
-
Full of antioxidants, especially when using dark chocolate and fresh berries.
Why you should try this raspberry chocolate bar:
Healthier – Store-bought chocolate bars, especially ones with fancier flavours, often come packed with sugar, preservatives and very few beneficial ingredients. Making your own lets you control everything – from the quality of the chocolate to how much sweetness you add (if any at all!). It’s a simple way to indulge with intention, aligning your cravings with your wellness goals.
Fun – Actually, crafting your own chocolate bar isn’t just a fun kitchen experiment – it’s a small act of self-care. You’re not just satisfying your sweet tooth; you’re nourishing your body with ingredients that work for you, not against you.
Adaptable – the great thing about making your own treats is that you can customise them and adapt to your likes, dietary needs and what you have available at home. If you have a peanut allergy, use another nut or seed butter. Or omit completely and add white chocolate instead. Other berries would also work here like blueberries or sliced strawberries.
What you’ll need to make this raspberry chocolate bar:
Dark Chocolate – High-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao or more) is a powerhouse of antioxidants like flavonoids, which support heart health and cognitive function. It also contains iron, magnesium, and a small caffeine boost—just enough to lift your mood.
Raspberries – These little berries bring more than just a vibrant tang. They’re one of the highest-fibre fruits out there and brimming with vitamin C and antioxidants. They also make your chocolate bar look stunning!
Peanut Butter – Natural peanut butter (the kind with just peanuts and maybe a pinch of salt) adds creamy texture, healthy fats, and a hit of plant-based protein. It also slows down the absorption of sugars, keeping your blood sugar more stable – perfect if you want a treat without the crash.
Can I customise my raspberry chocolate bar?
Of course!
Go crunchy – Add crushed peanuts or cacao nibs for extra texture.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt – It enhances the flavour and balances the richness.
Need more sweetness? We already mentioned PB&J, and if that’s the vibe you’re going for feel free to add a couple of dollops or raspberry jam for some extra sweetness, but also to intensify the raspberry flavour.
Choose your chocolate wisely – Aim for ethically sourced dark chocolate 70% or above for the best taste.
