Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• 0.25 cup Coconut Oil
• 0.25 cup Sugar-Free Sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 24 pieces Whole Almonds
• 1 cup Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
• 0 pinch Sea Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and sugar-free sweetener.

Step 2

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Once melted, add the coconut oil and vanilla extract to the coconut mixture. Stir until the mixture is sticky and can hold together when pressed between your fingers.

Step 3

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Press the coconut mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Press two whole almonds gently on top of each coconut portion to lightly embed them into the surface. Place the pan in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

While the coconut mixture is chilling, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate and mix well.

Step 6

Remove the coconut mixture from the freezer and cut into 12 bars.

Step 7

Using a fork or dipping tool, dunk each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing each bar on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Place the bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.

Step 9

Once set, store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
