Chocolate Coconut RX Bars

Chocolate Coconut RX Bars

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups pitted dates (make sure they are PITTED)⁣

• 1/2 cup cashews⁣

• 1 cup whole, raw almonds⁣

• 3 tablespoons shredded coconut ⁣

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder ⁣

• 1/4 teaspoon salt ⁣

• 1/3 cup unflavored Vital Collagen peptides ⁣

• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract⁣

• 1/4 cup (or more) Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)⁣

• 3 to 5 tablespoons water ⁣

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine the dates, cashews, and almonds in a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend until everything comes together evenly.

2. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed. Then, add remaining ingredients (minus the choc chips)⁣.

3. Add water until a “dough” begins to form, but not too much as it can get sticky.⁣

4. Stir in choc chips and then press in a pan.⁣

5. Place in fridge to chill OR bake @ 300° for 15 to 20 minutes until browned edges.⁣

   NOTES: *You could use less cocoa powder or omit if you just want a coconut flavored bar.⁣
   *I baked mine & loved! But I’ll probably just chill the next time I make them to save time. ⁣
   *I kept mine in the fridge until ready to eat. ⁣
