Edward and Sonsis one of my favorites in the kitchen and I’ve found that their coconut milk is the best to create a delicious cream for any baking and their coconut flakes add the perfect crunch and texture to cereals, bars and smoothies!

Let’s Do Organic Toasted Coconut Flakes, the rich, white meat of fresh organic coconuts is manually separated from their shells and sliced into tender flakes. Slow roasting gives them a warm glow and toasty taste. This product is 100% organic coconut flakes with nothing else added — nosweeteners, preservatives, whiteners, or sulfites.

Keyword: coconut, date bars, dates

Servings: 6

Author: Ciarra Siller

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup medjool dates, packed and pitted
  • 2 cups Let's Do Organic Unsweetened Toasted Coconut Flakes more for topping
  • 1/4 cup almond butter natural
  • 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chopped
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Place the dates into a food processor and blend until a ball starts to form. Turn off the processor and separate the date ball with your hands into smaller pieces. Add in the coconut and almond butter and then continue blending until combined. Try not to over blend or you will release some of the oils in the almond butter.

  • Prepare a 6×6 inch pan with parchment paper and press the mixture evenly into the bottom. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave safe bowl, cooking in 15 second increments and stirring between each until smooth.

  • Cut the mixture into bars (6) and dip the bottom half into the chocolate. Place the chocolate dipped bar onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat until you have dipped each bar. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top of the bars and coconut flakes. Chill until the chocolate is solid and then serve. *Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
