Nutritious Chocolate Almond Bars (for Kim)

Okay, I found it much sooner than I thought I would. This will use up some almond meal Kim. I found a recipe for these on a blog a year or two ago, then I messed with it.

4 cups almonds (raw)
1 cup almond meal
1 cup shredded coconut (dried, unsweetened)
1 cup unsalted creamy roasted almond butter
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 cups dark chocolate chips

Place almonds, almond meal, shredded coconut, almond butter and salt in a food processor. Pulse just enough to combine, about 10 seconds.

In a small sauce pan, melt coconut oil over very low heat, remove coconut oil from stove, stir honey and vanilla into oil.

Add coconut oil mixture to food processor and pulse until ingredients form a coarse paste.

Press mixture into an 9 X 11 glass baking dish. Chill in refrigerator for about an hour, until mixture hardens.

In a small saucepan, melt chocolate over very low heat, stirring continuously. Spread melted chocolate over bars; return to refrigerator for 30 minutes, until chocolate hardens. Remove from refrigerator, cut into bars and serve

Makes 40 bars
