Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 Whole almonds
- 1 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, coconut cream, erythritol sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take small amounts of the coconut mixture and form them into 12 small rectangular bars. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press one almond on the top of each coconut bar.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the bars to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Dip each coconut-almond bar into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting any excess chocolate drip off before returning the bars to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-covered bars, if desired.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
