NOTES

1. Dark chocolate: You can also use milk chocolate or semi-dark chocolate chips. The taste will then become softer.
2. Gluten-free: This recipe is gluten-free, but always check the ingredients carefully.
3. Variations and Tips
  • Fruity twist: Add chopped dried fruits such as cranberries, apricots, or pecans to the melted chocolate (about three tablespoons).
  • Nutty good: Chop almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, or pecans (or a mix of these) into the batter. Three tablespoons is enough.
  • Tip: This is a fun and easy recipe for kids!
4. Oven: When you use a conventional oven, set the temperature to 350 °F (ca. 177 °C). In a convection oven, 320 °F (160 °C) is sufficient.
5. Storage
  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight plastic container in the fridge. They stay good for up to five days. Place parchment paper between the bars to make them easy to grab.
  • Freezer: Wrap each coconut bar in a piece of parchment paper and store it in a freezer bag or freezer box.
