Coconut Crack Bars Food

COCONUT CRACK BARS

Steps:

• Either a) Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse a few times until you have a coarse batter. Or b) Just combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir together until you have a coarse batter. TIP: you'll have more control over the consistency by using a bowl
• Work the batter, making sure it's moist enough to stick together but not runny. If it's too dry, add a few drops of filtered water. Don't add more syrup or you'll have overly sweet crack bars
• Line an 8 X 8 pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Press it down with your hands until you have an even surface and thickness. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and freeze or refrigerate until firm and compact. TIP: wet your fingers if the batter is sticky
• Remove from your refrigerator and cut into bars. The size is entirely up to you
• Enjoy and store your bars in the freezer or fridge well covered (I keep them wrapped in the parchment paper)

COCONUT CRACK BARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick spray.

• Pour mixture over graham crackers and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake for about 5 minutes at 425 degrees F to set.

• Place in refrigerator (or freezer) for about an hour or until chocolate sets. Break or cut into pieces.

NO-BAKE COCONUT BARS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a food processor. (Mixing by hand will still taste good, but the bars will crumble.) Squish into any small container--I used a 7x5--and refrigerate for an hour before trying to cut. Or freeze for 15 minutes. Can be stored in the fridge or freezer, for at least a few weeks.View Nutrition Facts
