Instructions
Shred the coconut and mix it with the almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a big bowl.
It’s ready when you can press the mixture together with your fingers and it stays together. Put parchment paper around the edges of an 8×8-inch baking dish, leaving some overlap on the sides to make it easy to take off later.
Put the coconut mixture into the baking dish that has been lined. You can press it into the bottom of the dish with your hands or a spoon. Make sure it’s really packed down.
While you make the chocolate topping, put the baking dish in the fridge. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a bowl that can go in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth and creamy. Stir the chocolate chips every so often to keep them from burning.
Take the baking dish out of the fridge once the chocolate is melted. Use a spoon to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the coconut layer after you pour it on top.
For extra texture and taste, you can sprinkle chopped nuts or dried fruits on top of the chocolate layer if you want to.
Do not take the baking dish out of the fridge until the chocolate is set. This should take at least one to two hours.
When the bars are hard, use the extra parchment paper to lift them out of the baking dish. Put them on a cutting board and cut them into bars or squares of any size you want.
Serve and have fun! Any food that is left over can be kept in the fridge for up to a week in a container that doesn’t let air in.
Tips for Success
To keep the bars from being too sweet, use shredded coconut that hasn’t been sweetened. Adding a little more honey or maple syrup will make it taste sweeter if you’d like.
Almond flour gives the recipe a nice nutty taste and helps the other ingredients stick together. Not having almond flour? You can use any other nut flour or even oats that have been ground into a fine powder instead.
To make sure the bars stay together well, press the coconut mixture down firmly into the baking dish.
Instead of putting the bars in the fridge to cool, you can put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make them set faster.
Notes
You are welcome to change these bars to fit your tastes. For a fancy touch, you can add things like chopped almonds, dried cranberries, or even a sprinkle of sea salt.
You can use oat flour or any other gluten-free flour you like instead of almond flour if you are allergic to nuts.
For special events, potlucks, or just as a sweet treat for yourself or your loved ones, these Coconut Chocolate Bars are great. They also make great gifts that you make yourself!
Try this recipe with different kinds of chocolate, like milk chocolate or white chocolate, for a fun change.
