Summer is right around the corner, or at least I’m telling myself that in this 60 degree weather. I am loving the sunshine that seems to improve just about everybody’s moods. Maybe it’s just me, but when I’m in a good mood I am usually also in the mood for chocolate. I decided to take a lighter route to one of my favorite flavors and whipped up these coconut bars!
I used sweetened coconut, but if you’re wanting an even “lighter” recipe, raw coconut works too! You can also substitute the dark chocolate for milk, or semi-sweet.
