Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil, melted
- 3/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 cup Chocolate (semisweet or dark, chopped or chips)
Instructions
- Start by lining an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is thick and everything is well coated.
- Pour the coconut mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.
- Pop the baking dish into the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to firm up the coconut layer.
- While the base chills, melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled coconut layer and spread it evenly to the edges.
- Return the dish to the fridge for at least 1 hour until the chocolate sets completely.
- Once set, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper and slice them into squares or bars.
- Enjoy straight from the fridge or let sit at room temperature for a softer bite.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. These bars taste even better after a day or two!
