Coconut and Chocolate heaven!

These Paleo Coconut Crack Bars are not only good looking and delicious, they are actually healthy, with not a gram of added refined sugar! The bars are also gluten free, no bake, vegan and pack a boatload of amazing coconut flavor.

I am a die hard coconut lover, my pantry is stoked with jars of coconut butter and coconut oil. Since me and my husband are trying to eat cleaner, I decided to make a dessert that does not involve buttercream! I love healthy desserts that taste like the real deal! These Coconut Crack Bars are out of this world delicious!

The bars are made with only six ingredients and it will literally take you 5 minutes to throw these together, now you just have to patiently wait for them to refrigerate. Topped with a dark chocolate glaze, these become truly addicting!

My Coconut Crack Bars are truly the best, as they are packed with coconut flakes, coconut oil and also coconut butter! The coconut butter takes them to another level, adding extra creaminess and satiety! They are indulgent, yet healthy, just watch out, don’t eat the whole pan in one sitting. The bars must be stored in the fridge, as the coconut oil and butter will melt at room temperature, but listen to me, there is nothing better than having cold Coconut Crack Bars they taste so tropical and refreshing!

Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and using a measuring cup (or with your fingers) press it evenly into the pan.
