• parchment paper

Directions

• place your nuts, coconut, sugar, vanilla, and butter (slices) or coconut oil in crock pot. Mix together and place on high for 45- 60 minutes. Stir a few times checking to make sure coconut flakes do not burn. NOTE -Reduce to low after 45 minutes if flakes are cooking faster or browning.
• Then turn to low for the next 20-30 minutes.
• Remove and place crock pot contents on parchment paper to dry out.
• Add in your banana chips and chocolate chips and mix together.
• OPTION II cooking banana chips You can add in your unsweetened banana chips to cook with the nuts/coconut, instead of adding later. But you will need to stir often and cook only 45 minutes.
