I love easy recipes.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the blog. There’s an entire page devoted to this type of recipe: Over 100 healthy dessert recipes that can be made in 5 minutes or less.
So these chocolate strawberry bars are perfect for me: Just a few ingredients, and the recipe can be made in—you guessed it!—under 5 minutes.
They kind of remind me of Strawberry Klondike Bars… just more like fudge in the middle than ice cream.
(This also points out to me the fact that I currently have no Klondike recipe on my website. How can this be?! Must change soon! But I digress…)
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Fudge Bars
- 1/2 cup melted coconut butter
- 1 1/4 cup sliced strawberries (160g)
- just under 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon, optional
- 1 tbsp agave or pure maple syrup
- chocolate coating (see recipe instructions)
First blend just the berries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add the salt, cinnamon, coconut butter, and sweetener, and blend again until smooth. Smooth into a plastic container, and freeze until firm. Cut into bars or bites, and return to the freezer. (You can even insert popsicle sticks if desired.) You can either eat these bars plain OR cover them in melted chocolate chips or the following chocolate coating: Mix together equal parts cocoa powder, virgin coconut oil, and pure maple syrup until a thin sauce forms. Dip in the strawberry fudge, then immediately set back in the freezer to harden. Leftovers should be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks.

I’m working on a personal post I’ve been thinking about publishing for a while now… some of you can probably already guess the topic.
Hopefully it will be up next! If you’re only interested in reading recipes, please rest assured they aren’t going anywhere. I’m also starting to plan the recipe theme weeks! So if you have any particular theme weeks you’d like to see, feel free to leave requests in the comments.

These look amazing!
yum i love Klondikes! Maybe you could do like a fruity week which would include recipes for like fruit cobblers and crisps and pies and stuff like that. I would love to see something like this!
These look amazing!! Love how easy they are too. Easy recipes are the best recipes! Can’t wait for the personal post either!
Hi Katie! Would you consider recreating this recipe? http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/better-than-potatoes-cheesy-cauliflower.html
I’m really glad you did this most recent post. I don’t understand how people can think you’d be promoting unhealthy eating when I love your website because it gives me healthy alternatives to allow me to continue with my healthy lifestyle and still treat myself (and feed my chocolate addiction 😉 ). So I just wanted to say keep doing you because you have for a fact one girl in your corner!
just popped a batch in the freezer made with fresh Okanagan cherries! thanks for the great idea 🙂
I love the color, such a great recipe!
Can I use frozen strawberries? ^^
These look amazing! I can`t wait to make. So funny, I literally just posted a vegan Klondike recipe on my blog! Check it out if you like 🙂

Katie,
These are delicious! My husband loves them. After I made these I then made more with bananas instead of strawberries. They are absolutely amazing. I ate the whole batch… by myself… I used 2 large very ripe bananas. This recipe is outstanding in my opinion Thank you!!
