A truly magical chocolate dessert – these are shockingly EASY to make!
I’m getting ready for the Game Of Thrones premiere.
Can you tell?
These paleo and vegan chocolate layer bars can be made with just a few ingredients and NO refined sugar.
The green hue is achieved naturally – with avocado!
The recipe was adapted from these 5 Ingredient Avocado Fudge Bites
Magical Chocolate Dragon Bars
These avocado chocolate dragon bars are a truly magical chocolate dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 additional tbsp each pure maple syrup and coconut butter
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 3 oz chocolate chips (see note below for substitution)
Instructions
- *If you’d prefer, you can omit the chocolate chips and instead combine equal parts maple syrup, cocoa powder, and melted coconut oil to make a chocolate sauce.Recipe: Line an 8-inch pan with parchment or wax. Blend all ingredients except chocolate in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. (See video for a visual of the recipe being made.) Smooth into the prepared pan. Carefully melt the chocolate so it does not burn. Smooth over the pan. Freeze. I take the pan out after 10 minutes to cut into bars before the chocolate hardens completely. Store bars in the freezer.View Nutrition Facts

These look great! Any suggestion for what could be used in place of coconut butter (dietary restriction). Thanks!
Cacao butter, melted? If you try it be sure to report back!
I was going to ask the same thing as Theresa. Any substitutions for coconut butter? I’ve read that almond butter can we used but do you think that would make it taste funky? Thanks!
You can always experiment. Or perhaps cacao butter. Be sure to report back for other readers if you experiment.
This looks so yummy! I got to make it sometime. If only avocado wasn’t so expensive there days
Ooo these sound so creamy and dreamy! Gotta love all the healthy fats. This would be such a fun treat to serve at a little kid birthday party to because of the whole dragon part. I bet they would think they’re so cool!
xxMeah
I just can’t seem to get on the avacado train. I wish I could I’ve tried. Do these taste like Chocolate avacado?
They honestly don’t. I think the other flavors mask it well, but you could always be extra sure by adding a little pure peppermint extract and then it would pretty much guarantee no avocado taste whatsoever.
What flavour is the bottom section? I’m also not a fan of avocado, so I’m hoping you can’t taste it 😉 Also, would these be any good with mint extract added to the base?
Was just thinking pure peppermint extract would work well. Use a little to start because it is potent.
Ooooh look at these!
Would be nice to know if the avocado taste does come through

Ah, so Game of Thrones was the purpose behind these avocado bars! These treats look wonderful! Also, just to let you know, I keep making your zucchini cake over and over again. It’s absolutely delicious!
For those who cannot use coconut butter, I bet cashew butter would work! It has a milder flavor than almond butter.
These bars look awesome! Totally trying them soon!
