Ingredients
- 2 cups Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds, 2 containers
- 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened and unsweetened work, use your preference
- 3 pitted medjool dates
- 1 cup almond butter, melted
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, depending on how sweet you like it
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, *see notes if you want a thick layer
Equipment
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except chocolate in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes a thick, course batter. If necessary, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin out the mixture if your food processor is struggling.
- Press the mixture into an 8x8 pan lined with aluminum foil or wax paper. Place the pan in the firdge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, place the chocolate chips in a microwave proof bowl and heat 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Evenly spread the chocolate over the bars and refrigerate at least one hour until firm.
- Once set, carefully slice the bars into 12 2"x2.3" sections. For the cleanest slices, first lift the bars out of the pan using the liner. Run your knife under hot water, then dry with a towel before slicing.
Notes
*In these photos, I melted 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips for the top layer. While this looks nice, it was actually very difficult to bite into. I recommend using 1 cup instead--This will create a thinner chocolate layer that is easy to eat.
