Description

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup gentle sweet (my copycat recipe)
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 cup finely shredded coconut
• 2 T. coconut oil
• 3 T. full fat coconut milk
• Pinch of salt
• 3.5 oz. 85% dark chocolate or sugar free chocolate
• 24 whole almonds (or more if you make smaller bars)

Directions

• Melt coconut oil and coconut milk (if its solid) in the microwave. It takes about 30 seconds. Stir in the sweetener, coconut, vanilla, and salt.
• Shape into 12 bars and press almonds into the tops.
• Melt the chocolate. I do this by breaking the chocolate bar into chunks and microwaving on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave 30 more seconds. Stir. Repeat. Once it is 80% melted stop microwaving and just stir until it completely melted.
• Drizzle chocolate on the top and sides of the bars. I used an offset spatula to get the bottom part of the sides. Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate is hard.
• Flip bars over and coat the bottoms. They look prettier if you can manage to cover all the coconut but they are delicious either way. If you want them to look professional do two coats of chocolate and move them to new wax paper before refrigerating.
