Healthy Coconut Candy Bars (Vegan, Paleo)

[@caf0101931]

I made these chocolate coconut candy bars a few days ago and they were absolutely divine, Adriana. I can't wait to show you a picture of the finished product (not quite as beautiful as how your bars look, Adriana). My entire family were absolutely amazed by the depth of flavor and the fact they are super healthy, contain no refined nor processed sugars (I used Lily's dark chocolate morsels - no sugar added) and they're low carb. They never had a paleo dessert like this and they were extremely impressed. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Lily's has soy in it, last I checked, a while ago. If you know of a sugar free, soy free chocolate chip i would love to try them. Cheers!

Adriana - just wanted to drop a short message saying that this recipe too was awesome. The candy bars came out so good. Thank You! Keep sharing these fantastic paleo recipes with us ❤️

Hello - new subscriber here! This caught my eye while viewing a different recipe, and I am impressed with the clarity and simplicity of the directions and the healthy ingredients! I am Paleo, and rarely crave sweets, so it is lovely to find a recipe that includes only ingredients and equipment I generally have on hand for those occasional cravings. Mmmm - coconut and chocolate!!! ;-)

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thank you so much slywlf. My recipes are exactly for those "occasional" cravings we all have. I hope you enjoy them and please let me know how it goes after you try something.

[@HappyBellyfish]

Thank you for sharing this, I like how easy the recipe is!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks Happy Bellyfish! Hope you make it soon and enjoy. Let me know if how it goes.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thank you so much for sharing!! I love knowing you like my recipe!!! 🥰

[@reannaarunodaya5197]

This was amazing 😍 me and my family loved it so much but my coconut was a little less sweet than usual so I decided to put some melted chocolate chips on top these turned out so good at the end though thanks so much pls make some more no bake recipes

Thanks Reanna! I'm so happy you liked it :)

[@lamahalabi538]

thanks a lot for this recipe. I tried it today it turned out very yummy. I just substitute the chocolate chips with honey. I also loved many of your other recipes

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

This is so great to know Lama! Thank you very much 😘

[@joserivero5750]

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "pepperoni paleo snack" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Diyarter Benaylee Cure - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.

[@mickimc2883]

These look so good! I Can't wait to try, I am making this today! 😃

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Did you ever make these? Let me know how it goes.

[@nebraskahusker247]

Made these this evening and they remind me of a mounds candy bar. Its definitely a pain and took forever to process 2 cups of coconut in my food processor. I never could get it to the consistency of peanut butter. I would recommend using store bought coconut butter instead. Also next time I make these I will definitely add a sugar substitute sweetener. For my taste these bars needed to be sweeter. Also I would cut down on the coconut oil by a tablespoon or so, since these had an oily feel. I think with a few tweaks this is definitely a keeper recipe.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks for your feedback. Having a powerful food processor for sure helps to get the right consistency. Using store-bought coconut butter is a great time saver for sure but more expensive too. Be sure to melt the content in the jar, so the oil that rises to the top is mixed with the coconut. Please keep me posted :)

[@kH-bv8ix]

Thank you very much for giving feedback on your experience! I will try you tips because I LOVE mounds and was wondering if this would be a great substitute. Cheers!

You are so amazing I love your respise there so good morning and night my mom loves your ideas so tasty I'm your biggest fan ever I love you so much thanks for the great help you gave me and my family

[@maritawallace5510]

This is my favorite! I made them into fat bombs by using paper lined mini muffin molds. Also, I substituted 1 cup coconut manna (commercial coconut butter would work great, too) for the food processor debacle. Such a mess, and totally unnecessary. SO, FORGET THE HAND-MADE COCONUT BUTTER CHORE, and substitute coconut manna or butter. The mini chocolate chips are such a perfect accompaniment to the coconut, too!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks Marita! How to see your photo the next time you make it! You can post it in the comments below the recipe on my blog.

[@maritawallace5510]

I will take a picture of the batch I made earlier, there’s still plenty left! Thx, I was hoping you wouldn’t mind my taking liberties with your creation! How do I get to your bog? Could you provide a link? I’d love to check it out!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Oh no, not at all and in fact I mention using store-bought coconut butter on my post. It's definitely easier if you don't have a powerful processor.

[@ali_bk3426]

Hi. For the coconut butter, do you have to roast it before? Thanks

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

You don't have to Ali, but you can if you like the taste of toasted coconut.

[@daniellelacerda5170]

Olá,Adriana. Esta receita pode ser feita com o residuo do leite de coco feito em casa? Obrigada!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Oi Danielle. Eu acho que sim mas nunca tentei. Quando o leite e feito vc nao esta extraindo toda a gordura do coco então poder ser que o resido vire a pasta também. Se nao consegui vai ter que usar o coco ralado seco (sem açúcar) mesmo. Me diz depois como que foi.

[@vatchalasaminathan4898]

Hi shredded coconut is fresh one or desiccated coconut? Thanks

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Desiccated and the written recipe is on my blog - link above in the description.

[@mgbeurocaribena6755]

Can you use homemade almond butter instead of coconut butter for the coconut candy bars?

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Mercedes, if you use almond butter you may need to add more coconut oil so that it firms up in the fridge.

[@rebekah_bradley]

Ooo those look tasty!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Thanks! Hope you make them soon. So good 😊

[@ilovenoodles7483]

Sooo good! Thanks for sharing. I made these and it came out great! I actually added a little bit of ground cauliflower to it and it still came out great! Now, they actually became vegetable candy bars- who would've thought!💕☺

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Oh wow, so creative and interesting! How much cauliflower did you use? Did you take a photo? Can you post your photo and feedback on my blog as well to inspire more people to make it? Thanks! You can post it in the comments below the recipe.

[@ilovenoodles7483]

@@Livinghealthywithchocolate Thanks for replying. I used about 1/4 -1/2 cup of ground up cauliflower. I'll have to make them again some day soon and then I'll post a pict. to the blog. They came out looking like yours and you can't even taste or see the cauliflower. It's a good way to get your veggie intake even if you have to sneak them in.😇

I love noodles what would the cauliflower do here? Consistency ?

[@MsTeeBird]

I have a jar of coconut butter, should I take it out and melt it? I definitely want to make this

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

You can use the coconut butter you have in the jar. Melt it, and be sure to stir the content inside the jar before you measure. You'll need about 1 cup. Please let me know how it goes.

[@saaa.aa9578]

Is there any alternative that could be used instead of the shredded coconut? Just because I don't like the texture of shredded coconut.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Saira, the shredded coconut is one of the main ingredients of this recipe and I can't think of a substitute. You should try the recipe, you may like it.

[@saaa.aa9578]

Living Healthy With Chocolate ok thanks I will try! Do you think it would work if I did half shredded coconut and half popped quinoa?

[@juliach6059]

Hi Adriana, just wondering what particular brand of the blender / food processor do you usually us to make your beautiful raw desserts and bliss balls. I'm about to replace my old blender and really would love to get a good one! Thank you very much. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Hi Julia, I use my blender and food processor all the time so although they're not cheap, they are a great "investment". For the blender I use a vitamix and for the food processor I use a Magimix (xl - 14 cup) - www.magimix.com.au/products/RANGE/Food-processor/CS-4200-XL/

[@z-lazaza5752]

Living Healthy With Chocolate What model of Vitamix blender do you use? I was thinking of a basic model, but with full power. Do you have any suggestions (also one that would process the coconut into coconut butter)? Coconut is one of my favorite foods. I make coconut milk using my Ninja personal blender, by adding unsweetened dessicated coconut, stevia and water, then strain, but I waste a lot of coconut this way. Any tips for what to do with that used coconut?

[@min1549]

Z-La Zaza the coco pulp you can use it to make flour when dry and also some coco cheese ish cream

[@inspiration1883]

Wow. You are genius.

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

❤️ Thanks so much.

[@teresachen2707]

I put the coconut into the electric stirrer for half a day, but it is impossible to become milky? why? Please tell me how to do it? Impatient

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

I'm thinking it's your machine. Do you have a more powerful food processor or blender?

[@gabyreyc7]

Hi Adriana, fantastic recipe! What could I use instead of choc chips? I can't get any 'paleo' version or healthy version near me. Are nuts a good option? If so, coarsely chopped? Thanks! Keep posting videos, I love them!!

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

Hi Gaby, any chocolate bar with a cacao content greater than 70%, and that is free of soy should be fine to use in my recipes. Unless you have a severe allergy to gluten, you should be fine if the label doesn't say gluten-free. You can use nuts too if you prefer or cacao nibs. With any of these you can coarsely chop and mix.

coconuts are not nut free

[@Livinghealthywithchocolate]

The term coconut can refer to the entire coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit. Botanically the coconut fruit is a drupe, not a true nut. A drupe is a fruit in which an outer fleshy part surrounds a pit of hardened endocarp with a seed inside.
