Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/4 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Raw Almonds
  • 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips Lily's Vegan No Added Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Agave
  • 1 Tsp Almond Extract
  • 1/3 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (add gradually more or less)
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil Melted

Instructions
 

  • Add the shredded coconut, sea salt, and coconut flour to a large mixing bowl. 
  • Melt coconut oil and add to the mixing bowl with agave and almond extract. Mix well. All of the coconut shreds should be coated and flaky. 
  • Gradually add the almond milk to the mixing bowl.
     You should be able to form the mixture into a giant ball. If it's too crumbly, add more milk. If it's too watery, add more coconut flour to soak up the liquid. 
  • Form the coconut mixture into a mini bar shape. I used about three tablespoons of the mixture for each bar. Place two almonds on top of each bar. 
  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Coat the bar in the melted chocolate and use a spoon to transfer the bar back to a tray with parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to cool for one to two hours.
