Homemade chocolate coconut chew bars

October 19, 2012 by Roxana 32 Comments

homemade chocolate coconut chew larabar | roxanashomebaking.com

We’re a family of three but we all have different choices.

I’m a chocolate girl all the way and my favorite larabar is by far the Chocolate Chip Brownie Bar followed shortly by Chocolate Coconut Bars.

Hubby is a peanut butter addict (I swear he could live on peanut butter sandwiches) so his favorite larabar is Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar and Peanut Butter Cookie Bar.

And my little lady bug is in between. She loves all kind of bars as long as they don’t have big pieces of nuts in them.

I’ve made a while back another version of the Chocolate Coconut Larabar which I ended up eating almost all all by myself (no, no, no I wasn’t complaining)

This time I switched things a little bit and chopped the nuts a little smaller so my little lady bug could snack on them during the day. The bars are gluten free, vegan with no added sugar.

If you prefer a bar that has bigger nut pieces add the almonds and walnuts at the end and pulse just until the nuts are chopped the desired size.

    You're chocolate. Husband is peanut butter. Together, it's perfect - a wonderful marriage of two different flavours that work well together :) Sounds a little like life?

    I have yet to meet a larabar that I didn't like, but they can be expensive. Thanks for providing a recipe so I don't go broke buying them.

      You can wrap them individually and place them in the fridge or even better in the freezer. They should last at least a few month. As for the serving size, just one bar Roxana

    I really messed this one up. When I made this I was amaze at how much my ninja struggled with the medjool dates it wasn't until I was eating a piece and almost broke my tooth on what I thought was a poorly processed almond that I realized that the package of date was not pitted. I am afraid I will have to throw the bars out, how disappointing because they taste really good. Oh well I will have to try again when I find medjool dates again and this time I will check to see if they are pitted. Could I use plain old dates for this? Most recipes like this specify medjool dates because they hold together better but I have a hard time finding them.

      Hi Tia, I use whatever pitted dates I find. They're going to be placed in the food processor anyhow. Wish you better luck next time :) Roxana

      Hi Cassie, I do not have the nutritional value for these bars. The recipe yields 10-14 bars, depending how big/small you cut them
