I'd like to just make plain chocolate bars with distillate. Will it be enough just to double boil the chocolate and mix in the distillate, then poor into molds? Or will it not bind/mix evenly without an oil or fat added?

You can also add it to melted butter and stir it up. It is how I make mine. I just warm up the distillate and add a small amount of butter and it all melts together. Binds well with the chocolate. Just made some a few hours ago for a client :)
I add distillate to Starbursts with no fat and it works fine, you should be fine to just mix in the distillate
Add a 1-2 teaspoon of coconut oil to your distillate and then mix it in. It will also give that nice shine and snap pro chocolates have.
You get that from tempering the chocolate. Coconut oil will* effect it slightly but you still have to temper it like usual.
I must be fluking off some tempering then, i dont do that on purpose. Interesting
