Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa, paleo-friendly)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut oil and raw honey over low heat. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well mixed.
Add the shredded unsweetened coconut to the saucepan and mix until all the coconut is evenly coated.
Transfer the coconut mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down with a spatula to create an even layer.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth.
Once the coconut mixture is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and pour the melted dark chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Return the dish to the refrigerator and let it chill for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Once fully chilled and set, remove the candy from the baking dish using the parchment paper edges and cut it into 12 squares.
Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy as a delightful paleo treat anytime!
