Cooking Instructions

- Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the bars later.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly, pressing it down firmly.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the mixture is firm.
- Meanwhile, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
- Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and pour the melted chocolate over the chilled coconut mixture. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Return the baking dish to the refrigerator and let it chill for another 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Once fully set, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into desired-sized bars.
- Store the Keto Chocolate Coconut Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
