Homemade Coconut Chocolate Chip Larabars
Our kitchen, in all it’s retro 1950’s glory, is slowly but surely coming together and I finally got around to using it this week.
Homemade Coconut Chocolate Chip Larabars for the win!
If you’ve ever had a Coconut Chocolate Chip Larabar before you’ll know it’s packed with coconut flavor and studded with sweet chocolate chips — basically a health nut’s candy bar. I think it might be my favorite Larabar flavor, although I do love Apple Pie, Peanut Butter Cookie and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip as well. Oh, and apparently there’s a new flavor out — Strawberry Shortcake. Definitely gotta find/try that one soon.
So yeah, the Coconut Chocolate Chip is a favorite and I have no clue why I haven’t made a homemade version before now. Seriously — they’re incredibly easy to make and the perfect way to satisfy a nagging sweet tooth.
All you need is five simple ingredients and food processor!
Make a batch this weekend and thank me later.
These homemade Larabars require only five ingredients and take only minutes to make.
