hey everybody its Adriana from living healthy with chocolate today I have a quick and easy recipe to share with you for my healthy coconut candy bars you probably know that coconut has magical health properties and these coconut candy bars are loaded with healthy fats and they're the most perfect treat to have around the house when you want something sweet this is a nut free recipe since I have been getting many requests from you who are allergic to nuts and there's no baking involved and you're also going to learn how easy it is to make coconut butter at home so stick around and let me show you how to make these so we're going to start by making the coconut butter coconut butter has a similar texture to peanut butter and it's basically just one ingredient which is unsweetened shredded coconut so we're going to add the coconut to a food processor or a blender here I'm using two cups and process until we get that creamy consistency depending on how powerful your processor is it may take more or less time to make this and you need to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times eventually the oils from the coconut will start to release and you'll end up with a creamy coconut butter now in case you prefer to use store-bought coconut butter you can do that too but just make sure that the contents in the jar are well mixed together and melted so that the oils that rise to the top are mixed with the coconut on the bottom now we're going to mix the ingredients to make our candy and in a bowl we're going to add one cup of unsweetened shredded coconut vanilla extract salt and coconut oil the exact measurements for this recipe are written for you on my blog and I'm posting the link to it below this video give it a quick mix to combine ingredients and then mix in the coconut butter that we just made I'm also adding some semi-sweet mini chocolate chips here and these are paleo friendly chocolate chips there are free of most allergens like dairy and soy we don't need to add any more sweetener to this recipe because the dark chocolate chips and the coconut are already sweet enough next line a loaf pan with parchment paper be sure that the parchment paper covers all four sides of the pan here I'm using an 8 by 4 inch pan spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the pan and freeze it for about 1 hour to allow it to set cut it into about 2 inch squares and enjoy keep them refrigerated because they will melt at room temperature I know you guys are going to fall in love with this recipe the texture is crunchy and it's chewy at the same time and you definitely need to give these a try if you liked this video be sure to give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe to my channel so you never miss any of my future videos if you have any questions or comments leave them below and I'll answer them for you personally and when you make this recipe post a photo on my blog because I would love to see it you can post it in the comments below the recipe and I hope you guys loved this recipe and enjoy and I'll see you again next week bye .
