Paleo Chocolate Coconut Bars

These taste like a Healthy Mounds Bar!

PALEO CHOCOLATE COCONUT BARS

Free from grain, gluten, eggs, dairy, and refined sugar. 

Ingredients

Base:

2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut

1/4 c. coconut oil

1/4 c. honey

1/2 t. vanilla extract

1/4 t. sea salt or real salt

Topping*:

1/2 c. coconut oil

1/3 c. cocoa powder

3-4 T. honey (depending on how dark you like your chocolate)

splash of vanilla extract

dash of Himalayan salt

Instructions

Warm coconut oil until it is liquid. Place the base ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Depending on your blender it can take about 5 minutes or so, so be patient!

Spread base into a 9×5 silicone or glass loaf pan (or use a normal one lined with tin foil).

Freeze base for about 15 minutes.

While coconut mixture is freezing, mix up topping ingredients. Spread topping over frozen coconut and stick in the freezer again until chocolate is hardened.

Pop out of container and chop the Chocolate Coconut Bars pieces.

Store leftovers in the fridge.

*NOTE: You can use 1/2 cup of melted, dairy-free chocolate chips in place of the topping ingredients. (I use Enjoy Life)
