## Ingredients

- 3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 16 whole whole roasted almond
- 10 oz vegan dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- flaky sea salt (optional)

## Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the shredded coconut, coconut milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt until the mixture holds together.
3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and press firmly into small rectangles. Place them on the prepared tray.
4. Press one whole almond into the top of each rectangle.
5. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
6. Melt the vegan dark chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals or over a double boiler until smooth.
7. Using two forks, dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet, if using.
9. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
