Ingredients

Bar Base

  • 1 1/2 cups dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line an 8 x 8-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.
    Combine bar base ingredients in a food processor and process until a crumbly dough forms. Scoop the mixture out into the lined pan and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
    Melt the chocolate topping next.

Chocolate Topping

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Once melted, pour over the bars and place back in freezer or fridge for an hour or more to set.
    Remove from pan using the parchment paper handles and cut into 16 bars or more smaller squares.
    Store in fridge for up to1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
    If frozen, allow to sit on the counter for 10 minutes to soften for the best eating texture.
