Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 24 pieces whole almonds
- 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, erythritol sweetener, pure vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Using your hands, form the coconut mixture into small rectangles, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press two whole almonds gently into the top of each coconut bar, pressing down slightly so they adhere to the coconut mixture.
Place the baking sheet with the coconut bars in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, or until they are firm.
While the coconut bars are chilling, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the chilled coconut bars from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before returning it to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all bars are coated, place them back in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
Store the Sugar-Free Homemade Almond Joy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
