Homemade Coconut Bars with Dark Chocolate

Preparation of the coconut mixture

• 1
  In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded coconut with the honey and melted coconut oil until a uniform mixture is formed.
• 2
  Line a square pan (approx. 20 cm x 20 cm) with cling film. Press the coconut mixture firmly into the pan and smooth it with your palm.
• 3
  Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to set.

Chocolate coating and finishing

• 1
  Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate together with the butter over a water bath. To do this, heat a pot with a little water and place a suitable bowl on top (it should not touch the water). Break the chocolate into pieces, add the butter, and let it melt slowly while stirring constantly.
• 2
  Remove the set coconut mixture from the freezer and cut it into rectangles (approx. 4 cm x 10 cm). Carefully dip each piece into the melted chocolate, let it drip off (preferably on a wire rack), and then place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• 3
  Serve the chilled coconut bars. Stored in the refrigerator, they will keep for approx. 5–7 days.
