Squeaky Clean, Coconut Wonder Bars

Servings: 12 bars
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 2 cups almond meal
• 1/2 cup whole sugar (to taste)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (softened)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the topping:

• 2 1/2 cups (6 ounces) coconut flakes
• 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste)
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 cup chocolate chunks
• 1/2 cup Coconut Cream Concentrate, softened or melted

Directions:

Stir together the crust ingredients, incorporating everything well. It should stick together without being too oily or wet. Press firmly into an 8 x 8-inch baking dish.

Mix together the topping ingredients, using enough Coconut Cream Concentrate to thoroughly moisten the coconut flakes and hold everything together. Spread evenly over the crust, and then press down firmly into the crust.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the coconut oil is solidified and you can cut into squares without everything crumbling.
