- Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease it lightly. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly to create an even layer.
- In a small saucepan or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is smooth and well combined with the coconut oil.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
