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.

Side Note:
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.

My favorite chocolate combo is chocolate and coconut, so I’d love to see a coconut themed week! 🙂
I love fudge, thanks for the recipe.
Hi Katie! I’m making these right now. If they turn out amazing and I love them (ha, what do I mean “if”, of course they will be amazing!), do you mind if I share the recipe on my blog, but of course link back to this page a few times? Much love, thanks for all your recipes xx
The following is from Katie’s FAQ page. Hopefully it helps!
I’m ridiculously happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you’ve made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. But please feel free to use any of my photos as long as you give credit.
That’s so yummy Katie! Looks very simple and easy to whip up. 🙂 That would also be delish doing banana in the middle.

I am allergic to coconut anything. It’s makes my skin EXTREMELY itchy. What can I use as a substitution in your recipes?
Hi Katie!
First I would like to say thank you so much for wonderful recipes! I spend my free time looking through over and over again for new receipes to try out and I have tried a few. They are so good 🙂
I would like to ask if I can replace coconut butter with anything else? Like soaked cashews or something? If yes, do you have the ratios? Its really hard for me to find coconut butter where I live. Thanks a million Katie 🙂
You can always experiment! If you experiment with soaked cashews, please report back for others to read of your results!
Is it possible to do this with other fruits such as bananas as well?
Sure, why not?
This is a fantastic recipe. Thanks
They look great. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I’m sure that is tasty!
