Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

Coconut Filling

  • 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.25 cup coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • salt Pinch

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips 70% cacao or higher
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
  • Take about 2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture and shape it into small, rectangular bars. Place the bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place the baking sheet with the coconut bars in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  • While the coconut bars are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Remove the coconut bars from the freezer and dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated bars back on the parchment paper.
  • Return the baking sheet with the chocolate-covered bars to the freezer for another 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  • Remove the bars from the freezer and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

For a richer chocolate flavor, use 85% cacao dark chocolate. You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets for a salty-sweet treat.
