Coconut Toffee Bars


These grain-free, dairy-free and nut-free bars are a little bit of heaven to me.  If you're not a fan of coconut you may disagree, but for you coconut lovers, here's the perfect treat for you!

(And nothing makes me happier than satisfying a sweet tooth, without causing a sugar rush or stomach discomfort later.) 

These are great!




INGREDIENTS:

- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (I use this kind)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs, preferably from pastured hens
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- 3/4 cup good-quality chocolate chips (I use this kind)



DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together coconut, coconut sugar, coconut oil, eggs, vanilla and salt.

3.  Press mixture evenly into prepared pan, and bake for approximately 20 minutes, over until set and lightly browned.

4. Turn off oven, remove pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips.  Return to oven for a few minutes so that the chocolate can melt.  Once melted, spread over top with a spatula.

5.  These are delicious warm, but I prefer them much more once they've been chilled in the fridge.

6. Store squares in fridge or freezer, and enjoy!



Makes approximately 12 bars
