These no-bake coconut bars are completely irresistible – and you can make them in under 10 minutes!
As if I needed yet another addictive no-bake recipe on the blog.
Oh but one can never have enough no-bake recipes, right?
Especially when there is coconut involved.
You know what else one can never have enough of?
Obviously I would say chocolate.
The eleven different types of chocolate bars in my kitchen pantry attest to that. My roommate would say makeup, as her collection could stock three separate branches of Sephora.
My sister would probably say shoes. Although she might say nailpolish.
She really does have a lot of nailpolish.
Also try these: No Bake Coconut Bounty Bars
And one can never have enough coconut.
Except maybe my crazy boyfriend who just yesterday informed me that he doesn’t like coconut.
I think I stared at him blankly for over five minutes, trying to comprehend that statement.
You know, I also once dated a guy who didn’t like chocolate… 😕
Fill in the Blank: One can never have enough ________.
Dishes? Scarves? Jars of peanut butter?
I’m also going to throw jeans and bathing suits onto my list, because even with all the ones I already own, I always want to buy more.
Oh, and puppies… I can’t go into Petsmart on adoption days for fear of taking home all the rescue puppies!
No-Bake Coconut Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (80g)
- 1/4 cup agave or pure maple syrup, or 1/4 cup water and stevia to taste
- 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil (For substitutions, see nutrition link below)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- optional mini chocolate chips
InstructionsÂ
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor. (Mixing by hand will still taste good, but the bars will crumble.) Squish into any small container–I used a 7×5–and refrigerate for an hour before trying to cut. Or freeze for 15 minutes. Can be stored in the fridge or freezer, for at least a few weeks.View Nutrition Facts
Notes
You know, the Coconut Crack Bars would be REALLY good, and look really pretty, too — with a little chocolate drizzled over the top of them!! Might have to give that a try!! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes!!
That’s what I was thinking too…it’s like a homemade Mounds bar, but healthier!
Can’t get enough of: frozen blueberries in almond milk, sprinkled with truvia. I love the stuff. Let it sit for 5 minutes & the milk turns ice.
I thought I was the only one who did this? Hahaha it’s delicious!
We call it blueberry cereal. Love it
I need to make these soon! They look so delicious!
My boyfriend also doesn’t like chocolate, but that just means more for me!
did i miss a post someplace, i just read your cookbook? your putting out a cookbook? wow when? im so excited, all your recipes in one spot, cant wait to get that, will buy several so i can give out to friends, this will be the best cookbook ever, when do you think it will be coming out? ohhhhh we are blessed..you have such amazing recipes, i am so glad you are going to put them out in a book…
I know! I’m super excited too.. but I think all the recipes in the cookbook are going to be new ones… so nothing from this blog.. I wish we could get a cookbook with all the best recipes from here though… like the cookie pie!
Thank you both! 🙂
It’s going to be a lot of new recipes, but also some of the old ones. I think the cookie pie will be in there!
Oh, and this was the post where I mentioned it: https://lett-trim.today/2012/05/24/my-big-secret/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
my boyfriend doesn’t like coconut either! while im not a HUGE coconut fan, I can’t imagine life without pina coladas 🙂
for him, I think it is a texture-thing, not a flavor-thing. I would totally make these chocolate-coconut by adding some cocoa powder. yum!
When we started dating, my boyfriend said he didn’t like coconut or coffee. Two years later, he likes both! There’s hope. 🙂
Yummmm! I love coconut! This is a must try..and maybe drizzle alittle chocolate on them. 😛
Ummm why are the delectable little bites not dipped in chocolate?!?!? I have a whole tub of Tropical Traditions coconut just wating to meet its purpose in life…Yum!
I LOVE COCONUT!
But I can never get enough peanut butter!!!
My hubby doesn’t like coconut either. That’s OK. More for me. 🙂
I was experimenting a few months ago and ended up with something nearly identical to this, though I nested it between two layers of home made chocolate. Delish! 😀
I live in a dorm room this year, so no-bake recipes are perfect for me! I’ll definitely be trying this out.
your cookbook isnt going to have blog recipes, well then i think you should do two cookbooks, one for the new recipes and one for the blog recipes, i know i can just come on here and search but would be so nice to have them all in one place and also love sharing your recipes, i always share your blog on my facebook, but dont know if alot of people spend time going thru blogs, yours is amazing, i hope my friends and family that i have shared your blog with actually read it, you have amazing recipes and i love your stories..thank you so much…
It really means a lot to me that you’ve shared it, Connie. Maybe when I’m done with the cookbook, I can get all the old recipes together in some kind of free e-book or something for people!
I like this idea too! 🙂
I can’t believe you didn’t drizzle chocolate across them!
I bet you could easily poke some almond pieces in there too.
Almond J O Y !!!!
My hubby doesn’t like coconut and neither does my son (my daughter does, though). You either love it or you hate it. I love it <3
Coconut crack is right. This recipe is amazing. Mine never made it to the fridge. I ate the whole thing. Love the recipe.
Hi Katie! I love your blog! I am addicted to sweets and I am so glad there are things I can make, that I don’t have to feel guilty about! Thanks for your recipes. Question: Do you think these could travel in a car for an hour without getting yucky? I know you said they need to be refrigerated, but I was hoping they would make it to my destination. 🙂
Unfortunately, I don’t think they’d hold up… maybe on a lot of ice in a cooler?
Or just don’t cut into bars yet… and then stick the container in the freezer when you get there, to re-freeze :).
Thanks for the reply..we’ll see what happens 😉
