Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 Cups Shredded Coconut
  • 1 1/2 Cups Almond Powder or Almond Flour
  • 2/3 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt + more for topping
  • 10 Ounces Vegan Dark Chocolate
  • 24 Raw Almonds

Instructions

  1. Line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add the coconut, almond powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  3. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to solidify.
  4. Remove the pan from the freezer and slice the dough into bars (I made 24 bars). Place the bars back in the freezer for a few minutes while you melt the chocolate.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth.
  6. Dip each bar in the chocolate then immediately top with a whole almond and a sprinkle of salt. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drip.
  7. Return the bars to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to solidify. Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
