Coconut Chocolate Bars

This is definitely a recipe you will love. Perfect for your snacks and one of the best low carb snacks you will try!

Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
1 packet of stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup coconut cream
4 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
OPTION - instead of coconut oil for the coating
2 oz cocoa butter

Instructions:

Mix shredded coconut with coconut cream,1/2 of the vanilla extract and ½ packet of stevia and blend well with a spatula or a spoon
Place the shredded coconut mixture on a small cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Shape it into a flat rectangle about 4 inches by 6 inches and 1 inch thick (measurements may vary) You can aid yourself with kitchen wrap to accomplish this.
Place in the freezer for 2 hours, until frozen solid
Remove from the freezer and cut into 5 bars
In the meantime you will prepare the chocolate coating:
Melt coconut oil in a small sauce pan until liquified
Add cocoa powder remaining stevia and vanilla extract to the coconut oil
Mix well on low heat for about 2 minutes, until all ingredients are well blended
Let cool to room temperature, but still liquid
Now dip the bars in the cocoa mixture, and turn to all sides to coat evenly. It helps if the bars are frozen solid so they won't break.
Place bars back on the cookie sheet
When all bars are all coated put in the refrigerator to harden.
The bars can be kept in the fridge for harder consistency or at room temperature for softer.
Cacao will melt if kept at a temperature too high.

OPTION 2
If you want your chocolate coating to stay solid at room temperature use cocoa butter instead of coconut oil.
Proceed exactly in the same way as using the coconut oil.
