How are these mr. goodbar candy bars healthier?
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for the occasional candy bar or treat. However.. I don’t know about you, but I like to have a little something sweet at the end of the day.. every day. Therefore, making healthier versions at home ensures i’m still nourishing my body with better-for-you ingredients. I love using the EWG food score database as a resource to really understand what’s in some of our favorite classic candies.

Chocolate is healthy?
Obviously the nutrition of the homemade bars will entirely depend on the chocolate you decide to use, as it’s making up the bulk of the recipe. I highly recommend using a refined sugar free, organic chocolate. Here are a few I love:
- Hu Kitchen (I have a discount code for them! “Danishealthyeats” at checkout!): They make dark chocolate and a grass-fed, organic milk chocolate!
- Evolved Chocolate
- Loving Earth
Dark chocolate contains tons of antioxidants and polyphenols, making it a great healthier option in moderation!
How to make homemade mr. goodbar candy bars

- Freeze for 30 minutes, before removing from the molds.
The best candy mold
This is by far the best candy bar mold i’ve used! It’s deep so the bars actually turn out well! If you don’t have or want to buy a candy bar mold, you can also make these in a mini muffin tin in the form of clusters!
Storing Mr. Goodbar candy bars
Store bars in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.
