Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (for melting chocolate, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring you leave some overhang on all sides. This will make it easier to lift the bars out once they are set.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and salt. Use a whisk or spoon to stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly blended.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until it’s thoroughly combined. The mixture should feel sticky and should hold together when pressed.

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into your mixture. If you want, reserve a few chips to sprinkle on top later for added decoration and deliciousness.

            Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands, firmly press the mixture down evenly into the pan to ensure it’s well compacted, which will help the bars hold their shape.

              Chill in Refrigerator: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours, which will allow the bars to firm up properly.

                Melt Extra Chocolate (Optional): If you desire a chocolate drizzle on top, place the reserved chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

                  Add Topping: After the bars have set, carefully lift them out of the dish using the parchment overhang, and place them on a cutting board. Cut into squares or bars as preferred. If you melted extra chocolate, drizzle it over the top now and allow it to set.

                    Serve and Store: Enjoy these delightful No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Bliss Bars right away, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
