Instructions
Line a 8 x 8-inch baking 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.Make the chocolate layer first: In a small saucepan over very low heat, melt dark chocolate and coconut oil while stirring continuously. Stir in coconut milk and remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla.Spread the chocolate mixture in the parchment lined dish using a spatula or back of a spoon to smooth it out evenly. Chill in the freezer while you make the coconut layer.
Coconut Layer
To make the coconut layer, mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl until fully combined.Sprinkle the coconut layer evenly over the thickened chocolate layer (shouldn't be completely set or the two layers will separate as they cool). Gently spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
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 coconut layer and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon. Put in the freezer for 10 minutes to set and then cut into 16 squares (or more) to serve!Store leftovers in either the freezer or refrigerator. The freezer will give it more of a candy bar consistency while the fridge will make it more like fudge.
