Summer is right around the corner, or at least I’m telling myself that in this 60 degree weather. I am loving the sunshine that seems to improve just about everybody’s moods. Maybe it’s just me, but when I’m in a good mood I am usually also in the mood for chocolate. I decided to take a lighter route to one of my favorite flavors and whipped up these coconut bars!
I used sweetened coconut, but if you’re wanting an even “lighter” recipe, raw coconut works too! You can also substitute the dark chocolate for milk, or semi-sweet.

There are a lot of things you can substitute for coconut oil. But it will alter the taste and calories. This is what I found online - What are the best substitutes for coconut oil?Olive oil.Sunflower oil.Almond oil.Avocado oil.Hemp seed oil.Grapeseed oil.Walnut oil.

i can't find coconut oil what can i use instead?
-
Momma Cyd says:
Coconut oil is what will work best with these bars, especially where they are coconut bars - you'll want that coconut flavor. But here is a link to coconut oil substitutes. It will definitely change the flavor of the bars. You can order Coconut oil on amazon. It's also found at WalMart. https://www.bhg.com.au/best-coconut-oil-substitute-replacement

This recipe sounds great for when you need that sweet treat, but it says it is 600 calories per piece? Is that correct?
-
Momma Cyd says:
That was with the pan cut into 6 pieces which would be huge. We've adjusted the recipe and now have the pan cut into 16 pieces, but you could easily cut them smaller.
