Ingredients

2 ⅓ cups Desiccated Coconut - ultra thin
3 tablespoons Maple Syrup or liquid sweetener of your choice like agave syrup, rice syrup or coconut nectar
⅓ cup Coconut Milk canned, unsweetened, light or full fat)
¼ cup Coconut Oil melted

Chocolate layer

4.2 oz Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips I used 85 % cocoa chocolate
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients: unsweetened coconut, maple syrup, unsweetened coconut milk, and melted coconut. The order doesn't matter.
Stir until it sticks together, if too dry, add a bit more maple syrup or melted coconut oil. You can also bring all the ingredients in a food processor and blend on high speed 1 minute to help break coconut and make the batter sticky.
Cover a baking tray 8 inches x 8 inches with parchment paper. Set aside.
Spread the coconut batter evenly in the tray, using your hands or a spatula to press the batter firmly all over the bottom of the tray. If you want to make almond joy bars, press 16 raw almonds, one per square you will cut.
Freeze the tray for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, add dark chocolate pieces and coconut oil.
Melt either in the microwave or bain-marie.
Remove tray from the freezer, pour the melted chocolate on top of the coconut bar, using a spatula to evenly spread the melted chocolate.
Freeze again 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate layer.
Remove from the freezer and cut into 16 bars of the same size.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks or freeze for 3 months. Make sure you place a piece of parchment paper between each square to prevent them from sticking to each other when you want to defrost them individually. Defrost at room temperature, it should take 30-45 minutes.
