Coconut Bars

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded coconut with honey and coconut oil.
• 2
  Prepare a tall square container (20 cm × 20 cm) and line it with cling film. Press the prepared coconut mixture into the container and compact it with your palm.
• 3
  Then place the container with the coconut mixture into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
• 4
  Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate together with butter over a bain-marie. Prepare a pot and a bowl that can be placed into the pot without touching its bottom. Pour a small amount of water into the pot and heat it until it gently simmers. Break the chocolate into the bowl and add the butter. Once the water in the pot starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, carefully place the bowl into the pot, and let the chocolate and butter melt slowly, stirring constantly.
• 5
  Remove the container with the coconut mixture from the freezer and cut the mixture into rectangles (4 cm × 20 cm). Coat each piece in the melted chocolate and let it drip off (preferably on a cooling rack). Then place the coated pieces into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• 6
  Remove the chilled coconut bars from the refrigerator and serve. Stored in the refrigerator, they will last approximately 5–7 days.
