Instructions
Make The Filling
Add all the filling ingredients to a food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until a thick, soft texture.
Transfer into a silicone mold and press down so they make a bar shape. Put in the freezer to set for at least 30 minutes.
Melt The Chocolate
Put a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt the chocolate chips. You can also melt them in the microwave in 10-15 second bursts.
Assemble
Dip the hardened coconut bars into the melted chocolate - double dipping is best so all the sides are properly covered.
Transfer to a wire cooling rack with some baking parchment underneath to catch drips and allow to set, then enjoy!
