Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 14

Chocolate / Carob Base:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup almond butter
3-4 tsp sugar
6 Tbsp carob or cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
Coconut Topping:
1 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
7 Tbsp coconut oil
3-4 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp arrowroot powder (cornstarch may be substituted)
1/4 tsp additional flavoring (optional. Almond or coconut are good choices.)
Almonds halves or slices (optional)

Steps:

  • Base: 1. Melt oil and nut butter over low heat. 2. Stir in cocoa and sugar; combine thoroughly. 3. Continuously stir until it slightly thickens, then remove from heat. 4. Stir in the vanilla. 5. Pour the mixture into an 8×8 pan and place in freezer to harden while you make the topping. If you don't have room in your freezer, the fridge will get it solid enough to work with. Topping: 1. Melt oil in small pan and add coconut flakes. Stir. 2. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer and stir until it thickens a bit. 3. Once the chocolate is hardened, gently smooth the coconut mixture on top. 4. Place slivered or whole almonds on top (optional). Place bars back in the freezer until hardened. Again, the fridge will work, but it will take longer. 5. Slice into squares of desired size and enjoy! They'll probably be too hard to cut right out of the freezer so you may need to let them thaw a bit first. 6. Store in the refrigerator.
