Coconut Chocolate Bars
Coconut Chocolate Bars are a no-bake snack that combines creamy coconut and rich chocolate in a homemade treat that’s sweet, easy, and crowd-pleasing. Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut fine texture works best; toast lightly for extra aroma
- 1 cup almond flour or ½ cup coconut flour plus ½ cup extra coconut for nut-free
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted (refined for a mild note or virgin for a stronger coconut flavor)
- 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup substitute agave syrup if vegan
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract clear vanilla for color-sensitive recipes
- Pinch sea salt plus extra for topping, if desired
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips 70% cacao recommended; use dairy-free chips for vegan
- 2 tablespoons extra shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, almond flour, and sea salt. Add melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Press into pan and chill for 15-20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate and spread over the chilled coconut base. Sprinkle with sea salt or shredded coconut. Chill for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Lift the parchment to remove bars from the pan. Cut into 16 bars. Serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Choose high-quality chocolate for a smooth finish. Measure coconut oil after melting for accuracy. A silicone spatula helps with mixing.
