Healthy Chocolate Coconut Slice
I'm an avid snacker from way back. I've never been able to master getting all the way to my next meal without a little something to nosh on in between.
And on those rare occasions that I do, I come down with a serious case of the hangries.
As a result, I keep my house and my handbag well stocked with snack options. It's just safer for everyone involved!
A few years ago I discovered the wonder that is no bake snacks and I include at least one of these recipes in my meal prep each week. Well… once in a while, I still sneak in a chance to bake these super delicious chocolate brownies. I mean, what can I say? *lol*. It’s okay to indulge every now and then, rite?
Anyway, this Healthy Chocolate Coconut Slice is one that I find myself whipping up time and time again.
It's chewy.
Very chocolatey.
It's got enough coconut in it to help you dream of far off tropical islands.
Putting this slice together is as easy as throwing all the ingredients in a food processor, blitzing until combined, pouring it in a baking tray and popping it into the fridge to set. Yep - that easy.
Oh and there's only 7 ingredients and NO REFINED SUGAR. Not to mention it's vegan, gluten free and nut free. And AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS so let's just hurry up and make some shall we?

Pour mixture into baking tray and flatten with your hands for consistency. Sprinkle with coconut and pop in the fridge for an hour until set.
Cut into squares and try not to eat all at once.
