Ingredients
12Medjool Datespitted
1CupCocoa Powder
½CupMaple Syrup
1TeaspoonSalt
10-15Almonds
1CupMelted Dark Chocolate I use Hu or Lily’s
Shredded Coconuttoasted
Instructions
In a food processor, blend the dates, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and salt until you have a thick, sticky dough. Roll into ovals or small balls. Press an almond into each. Slightly flatten for that “candy bar” feel.
Place shaped dough on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes. This makes dipping much easier. Melt your dark chocolate, then dip each candy bar until fully coated. Return to the tray.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on toasted coconut. Let them chill in the fridge until set, then enjoy!
