Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
• ¼ cup plus ⅓ cup maple syrup (divided)
• 2 T coconut flour
• ¼ cup pitted dates
• 2-3 T melted coconut oil
• ¼ cup chopped nuts
• 1-½ cups chopped dark chocolate

Directions

• Toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet until golden. Then transfer them to a food processor, and process until a smooth butter forms.
• In a food processor, combine the toasted coconut butter, ¼ cup maple syrup, and coconut flour. Process until the mixture forms a dough.
• Press into the bottom of an 8x8” glass baking dish.
• In the food processor, combine the dates, ⅓ cup maple syrup, and coconut oil. For a few minutes, process until very smooth; you want this very well-pureed.
• Spread this mixture over the bottom layer of the glass dish.
• Sprinkle evenly with chopped nuts; press them down a little bit into the caramel layer.
• Freeze until set.
• Remove the dish from the freezer, and cut into small rectangles (for “fun size” candy bars).
• Carefully melt the chocolate over low heat; you want it melted, but not hot.
• Dip each of the candy bars in chocolate, place on a platter or cookie sheet, and freeze until set.
• Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
