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.

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
Instructions
- 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
One can never have enough…
-music
-books
-Phantom of the Opera paraphernalia
-belly dance DVDs
-sets of oddly specific collectibles no one else finds interesting
I thought I was the only one with a supply of collectibles that no one else finds interesting. XD Music and books are splendid responses, I’m on board! ^^
One can never have enough rubber ducks! But maybe that’s just me. I have 360+! I guess you could say my rubber duck collection has gotten a bit out of hand… 😛
These look freaking delicious!! I love coconut. There is a Latino coconut candy that i could eat everyyyy day that my ex-b/f introduced me to. OMG…
Things i can NEVER have enuf of: Nail polish!! I’m an addict. I do my own nail art etc. One of my hobbies in my early retirement. (;
I also could never get enuf of choc and pb, or choc and coconut as far as sweets, and Mexican foods or pizza as far as meals.
Love you Katie!!
This looks amazing. Just wondering if you or anyone has tried it with the water and stevia? I’m curious if it becomes icy or crystallized more?
Yes, I tried both ways. It’s a little drier with the stevia, but both ways work. 🙂
I split the mix into 2 & added spiralina powder & a little honey to one batch & kept the other 1 as per the recipe. Layered the green, sweeter layer on top & it is delish! Thanks for sharing such yummy recipes!
One can never have enough…brownies, peanut butter, oatmeal…Seriously, I have peanut butter at least once a day…I could go through an entire jar of Teddy’s all-natural chunky peanut butter by myself in a week. Oatmeal I have at least five days a week for breakfast. Brownies I have whenever there’s ice cream in the freezer to make a sundae! I don’t know if they have it around you, but I buy this brownie mix called “No Pudge! Brownie Mix.” The mix itself has no fat, and all you add is yogurt. It’s a more natural brownie mix, and it makes really chewy brownies. I always call the middle piece 🙂
Gosh, I know right!? I can’t go without that beautiful…thick…yummy stuff for more than a day! If I do, then check the jars of the other butters for a crime. 😉
Ahhh! So much catching up! It was totally worth it though to be hit with all of the goodness at once. 😀 I happen to remember “coconut crack sauce,” lol. Anything with coconut is a sure win! Oh my, um….jars of peanut butter, and dish rags! XD And shirts and jeans in general… Heh. And all of the foodie essentials; the various flakes, bananas (for the banana lovers)…and definitely oatmeal! An abundance of veggie-colors in the fridge never hurt either. 😉 And…um…video games. Or we would have enough of those, if they didn’t keep coming out with new ones every month. XC
I can’t live without running shorts! Even though I don’t run cos it hurts my ankles. They’re just so comfy.
I just made this – with almonds and melted chocolate chips/coconut oil on top. YUM! Thank you for another addiction. You can never have too much chocolate …or strappy tank tops… or sun.
This is something us food bloggers have not seen possibly ever!! great work Katie, I can’t wait to make it, hopefully soon too. Maybe dipped in chocolate, who is with me!
Wow these sound so simple to make too! So little ingredients, I love it. Man, I have been on a TOTAL coconut kick lately too; absolutely love it! 🙂
+ I love that you do the random older recipe shares at the end of each post btw.
Ohhh I like the not-so-crazy ingredient list! I might even have it all in my cupboard 🙂
Ohmygoodness. I love, love, love coconut. I want to try these immediately! I cannot believe that I’ve been in the dark about this website until today! I have SO much to catch up on! I’m thinking I’ll just have to try about 14 recipes a day until I catch up.
Haha, my boyfriend doesn’t like coconut ether! I’m not a huge fan, but it’s nice now and then. I think I can never ever have too many clothes. Pants, t-shirts, socks, whatever, I crave that A LOT.
On a different note, I liked the design on these pictures. Oh, and btw I love that little smily below the wordpress admin button. It’s kinda cute.
I agree with Sarah above, one can never ever have too many clothes!! OR eat too much almond butter or avocado! 🙂
Looks like a healthier version of “cocada”, which is a very common dessert in Brazil! I love it, so must try that!
