    Homemade Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars are healthy, easy  to make and addictive! Simple ingredients like organic coconut oil, shredded coconut and honey.
    Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars
    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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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.

      How do you think these would ship? Our Grandson is stationed in Germany and would love these!

        I wouldn't take a chance shipping them as the need to stay refrigerated.

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

      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.
