Remember when I mentioned I had another no bake recipe to share in my Healthy No Bake Cookies post? Welp, here it is!
There’s coconut involved!
This recipe is similar to the no bake cookies — just with unsweetened coconut added for a hint of coconut flavor and no protein powder. I figure this is a good version for the folks that love coconut and for the folks that aren’t a huge fan of protein powder.
They’re also great if you’re in a time crunch because you don’t have to worry about forming them into a cookie shape. Just press the batter into a pan, sprinkle with coconut, let it sit in the fridge a little while and they’re done. Easy peasy.
If you can’t tell, I had way too much fun taking photos of these bars… and this isn’t even half of the photos I took. I had to be selective.
The red and wine kitchen twine just makes baked goods look so festive and cute. I couldn’t help but take a billion photos. Okay, more like 50.
I love the combo of peanut butter, chocolate and coconut so much and it works well in these bars. Oh gosh, writing that somehow made me think of Magic Cookie Bars – now I want one of those. (Maybe I can made a healthier version.) Anyhow, these bars are delicious, easy to whip up and quite amazing, in my opinion. I hope you love them as well!
PS – Don’t forget that I’m hosting a Twitter Party about eating and staying healthy throughout the holidays with Bolthouse Farms today. It’s at 6:00PM EST / 3:00PM PST and the hashtag is #HolidayFoodHacks. See all the details in my recent post. Hope you can join me!
