These healthy candy bar dates are a no-bake Almond Joy-inspired treat made with Medjool dates, dark chocolate, and coconut. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and insanely delicious!
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!
