Chocolate Almond Coconut Bars
Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 3 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 cups Medjool dates
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 4 heaping tablespoons almond butter
Directions:
First grind up the almonds and chocolate together until fine but not too fine.
Leave half of the almond-chocolate mixture in the food processor and set the other half aside.
Add half a teaspoon of sea salt, 2 cups of dates, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, and 2 heaping tablespoons of almond butter and process until combined. Transfer into a large bowl.
Now process the remaining chocolate-almond mixture, sea salt, dates, coconut, and almond butter. Add to the large bowl.
Wet your hands, further combine the mixture, and press firmly into a parchment-lined 13 x 9-inch pan. Let the parchment hang over the ends so that you can lift the bars out.
Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Lift the bars out of the pan and slice into desired size.
