    Learn how to make my no-bake Healthy Coconut Candy Bars and also homemade Coconut Butter to save you money. These are the most delicious and healthy treat!

    They have an amazing texture and flavor, and are free of nuts, dairy, and gluten which makes them both Paleo and Vegan friendly.

    Today, I have a quick and easy recipe to share with you.

    This is a nut-free recipe since I have been getting request from many of you who are allergic to different types of nuts to create new nut-free recipes.

    Not only are these easy to make, you only need a handful of ingredients and there's no cooking involved.

    You probably know by now that coconut has magical health properties and I talk about it extensively in an article in my cookbook.

    These Coconut Candy Bars are loaded with healthy saturated fats, and are the most perfect treat to always have around the house when you want something sweet (at least for me this is true!).

    Having these bars in my fridge is a good way for me to curb my sweet tooth and not overindulge.

    No sweetener is added to this recipe, and the dark chocolate chips add just the right hint of sweetness.

    The texture is both crunchy and chewy at the same time.

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, or store-bought coconut butter*
    • 5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • pinch fine Himalayan salt
    • ½ cup semisweet mini chocolate chips, dairy/soy-free brand
    To see the brands I use, click each ingredient above or visit my Amazon shop.

    Instructions
     

    • Line an 8½ x 4½-inch medium loaf pan with parchment paper, covering all four sides of the pan.
    • Make coconut butter by adding 2 cups of shredded coconut to a high speed blender or food processor (reserve the remaining 1 cup). Blend until creamy like peanut butter, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
    • Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix together the reserved shredded coconut, coconut oil, vanilla extract and salt.
    • Add the coconut butter, then fold in the chocolate chips.
    • Spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.
    • Freeze or refrigerate until firm, then cut into pieces.

    Notes

    *In place of 2 cups of shredded coconut, you can also use 1 cup store bought coconut butter. If you do use this substitute, be sure to melt the content in the jar before measuring and mixing with the other ingredients. Using store bought coconut butter might save you a little time, but it will cost more.
    Yields 18-20 1x2-inch bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
