Behind peanut butter and chocolate, coconut, and chocolate are my favorite sweet combination. There’s something so satisfying about it that it curbs whatever cravings I might have – whether it be sweet or salty.

These bars are incredible. By processing the coconut in a food processor you essentially create coconut butter with more texture so that they become smooth and melt in your mouth. Cover it in chocolate and you’ve got yourself a winning combination.

The Yummiest Coconut Chocolate Bar Recipe

Everyone who has tried these coconut chocolate bars has become addicted. What’s more, there’s nothing too bad to be said about them. They’re made of all-natural ingredients so you know exactly what you’re putting into your body, plus they’re vegan/paleo/refined sugar-free/gluten-free so they’re sure to keep (almost) anyone happy.

I place the coconut into ice trays to give them the perfect shape. When they’re sufficiently set, I dip them in chocolate and let them sit in the refrigerator for about 15 to 30 minutes. Perfect every time and with minimal effort too, I’d say these take an hour to make at most – and most of the time is spent waiting for them to set.
