Paleo Candy Bars

Yes, candy bars.  This recipe came from the Paleo Plan and I first had this when our gym did a Paleo swap where we each made different meals and got together on Sunday evening to make our swaps.  We had enough participation where we had breakfast, lunch, and two snacks for five days.  It was a great way to initiate ourselves.  Sure, we spent a lot of time in our kitchens on Sunday, but you had most everything done for a week. 

3 tablespoons of coconut oil
1/4 cup of carob powder or cocoa powder
1/2 cup of ground nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts)
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon honey, more if desired for taste
Parchment paper

• Melt coconut with honey in saucepan until oil is melted then remove from heat
• Combine with remaining ingredients and pour onto baking sheet covered in parchment paper
• Once cooled, cut into squares or other form of choice
• Freeze or refrigerate until hard - you will need to store these in the refrigerator or freezer.
• TIP: make enough to keep in the freezer for a quick chocolate fix.
