- Three Tablespoons of Coconut Oil
- Two Cups Desiccated Coconut
- Pinch of Salt
For the Chocolate coating:
- One Cup of Coconut Milk
- Four Tablespoons of Maple Syrup

- Two Cups Desiccated Coconut
- Pinch of Salt
- One Cup of Coconut Oil
- 1/2 Cup of Cacao Powder
- Two Tablespoons of Maple Syrup

Method
- STEP 1In a saucepan on a low heat, add all the ingredients for the coconut filling and make sure that it is all combined. The sugars from the syrups should start to bubble up and this is what makes the filling hold together.
- STEP 2Then pour into a cling film lined tray. Make sure the mixture is evenly spread out and compact down so that the bars really hold together. Pop in the freezer for a couple of hours.
- STEP 3After the coconut filling has been freezing for a little while - start to make the chocolate coating. Mix all the ingredients together on a low heat then move to one side. Let the chocolate cool for a little bit so that it becomes thicker. This will give the bars a nicer coating.
- STEP 4Bring the coconut filling out of the freezer and chop into bar/square shapes. The colder the better with the bars as this will make them easier to coat with the chocolate.
- STEP 5Dip the bars into the chocolate coating them completely and put them onto some grease proof paper to dry. They should harden pretty quickly once the warm chocolate hits the cold coconut. Pop into the fridge or freezer so that they completely set - then they are ready to serve and eat whenever you want.
- STEP 6I keep mine in the freezer so they are kind of like coconut-choc-ices! Yum!
