What’s the international language of love? If you said Italian, you’re wrong.
It’s chocolate.
Everyone understands chocolate speak, but the same can’t be said for any other language. See what I mean?
Smooth, silky, decadent, and complements practically anything, chocolate almost always comes to mind when a special occasion arises. Think birthdays, anniversaries, a special date, and of course, Valentines Day – or Love Day as I prefer to call it.
But chocolate and food allergies can pose a challenge for those with restricted diets since most store-bought candies have milk in them as well as some of the other common allergens, like soy, egg, wheat, and tree nuts.
Fortunately, I have the perfect recipe for you: these Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars. If you loved the Bounty bar as a kid, then you’re going to love these ones, dare I say even more!?
They’re priority allergens free and naturally sweetened which makes them a much healthier dessert to indulge in, something you’ll be doing – I guarantee it. And this recipe happens to be easy and no-bake which means you and the kids can make together. And if you want to up the wow factor you can turn them pink, the natural way.
This unbelievably decadent Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars recipe is all you’ll need to impress your special someone(s), or anyone for that matter!
These bars help to satisfy that sweet tooth without feeling too guilty about it. I mean they’re made using honey, coconut, and beets, so you should consider them a part of your daily fruit intake – how amazing is that. ;)
This recipe has been revised and perfected. It’s absolutely a must make for whoever you love, including yourself. Trust me on this one.
These Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars are free from the following:
dairy
egg
peanuts
tree nuts
wheat
gluten
sesame
