Homemade Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars are healthy, easy to make and addictive! Simple ingredients like organic coconut oil, shredded coconut and honey.
I bought a large container of organic coconut oil, it is suppose to be good for you, right? Now what do I do with a large amount of coconut oil. Firstly I tried frying my Panko Crusted Chicken in it. No go, my husband didn't like chicken tasting like coconut. Secondly, a friend said she ate it right out of the jar, a couple of teaspoons a day. No go, I felt like I was eating Crisco. Next came making a bar from it. Coconut chocolate bars are one of my favorites, so why not a healthy version. Huge hit, these Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars taste amazing! Simple ingredients sweetened only with organic honey. Now I can get all the healthy benefits of coconut oil in a tasty little treat.

DEANNA PISKO
Hi Laureen! I bought shredded organic coconut unsweetened but it is also dehydrated... do I use it dehydrated or do I need to soak it? I feel like this is a silly question but never had it dehydrated.
Laureen King
Hi Deanna, you would not soak it, just use as is. Hope you enjoy the recipe. The mixture will seem quite runny, but will firm up in the refrigerate. Make sure you store bars in the refrigerator or bars may become too soft.

I'm obsessed with the amount of coconut in these! mmm sounds delicious!
Laureen King
For serious coconut lovers only LOL
Annette
What size pan?
Laureen King
Hi Annette, thanks for catching that. Use an 8x8 inch baking pan. A 9x9-inch would also work but bars will be a bit thinner.
Tammy
Absolutely best coconut bar I have personally made!!! Thanks so much for a great recipe!! I read another recipe that had added a bit of coconut cream, would this work here? Thank 🙂
Laureen King
Thanks Tammy, they are one of my favourite guilt free treats as well.
Betsy
I just made these for my daughter, my husband and myself. My granddaughter enjoyed them too. They are so easy to make! I cut them into much smaller pieces. We all loved them. Will definitely be making them again.
Laureen King
Betsy So glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe

How do you think these would ship? Our Grandson is stationed in Germany and would love these!
Laureen King
I wouldn't take a chance shipping them as the need to stay refrigerated.

Laureen King
Hi Megha, should last at least a week, tightly sealed so the squares don't dry out
