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.

Annette says
What size pan?
Laureen King says
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 says
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 says
Thanks Tammy, they are one of my favourite guilt free treats as well.
Betsy says
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 says
Betsy So glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe
Lynna says
How do you think these would ship? Our Grandson is stationed in Germany and would love these!
Laureen King says
I wouldn't take a chance shipping them as the need to stay refrigerated.

Laureen King says
Hi Megha, should last at least a week, tightly sealed so the squares don't dry out
Jennifer says
Idk if i missed it but how many servings and calories per serving?

Jennifer, 16 squares, but sometimes I cut it into smaller bite sized pieces.
Irena says
Absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Can I freeze them? We will not eat them within a week and I would hate them to go bad.
Laureen King says
Hi Irena, sorry for late response, yes they freeze well.
