Coconut Chocolate Bars

Coconut Chocolate Bars

I have cut these bars into shapes using cookie cutters and used them as cake toppers and decoration. Either way, they are a delicious and highly sustaining dessert that are also great for a snack during the day.

Tip: These bars will start to melt if they are out of the fridge for too long, so keep them cool until you’re ready to enjoy them.
