Equipment

1 square baking dish
1 mixing bowl
1 sheet of parchment paper

Ingredients

Dark Chocolate Magic Shell

3 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Coconut Filling

1 cup coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup almond flour
3 cup coconut, unsweetened and finely shredded
1 cup hemp (save 1-2 Tbsp. to sprinkle on top)
1/8 tsp sea salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
30 drops peppermint extract (optional, may replace with 3-5 drops essential oil of peppermint)
1/2 tsp spirulina (optional, for natural green color)

Instructions

Line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
Slowly melt 3 T. coconut oil and dark chocolate chips in on the stove or in a microwave.
Pour up to half of the mixture into the parchment paper, spreading it around to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Chill.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together for the coconut filling, reserving 1-2 Tbsp to sprinkle on top of finished bars. (Optional: add peppermint and spirulina for a cool mint green treat.)
Once chocolate is hardened, remove pan from fridge, and spread coconut filling over the cooled chocolate layer. Chill.
Once filling is hardened, remove pan from fridge, and pour more homemade magic shell mixture over the chilled coconut filling. Spread to cover.
Sprinkle reserved hemp seeds on top. Chill until firm.
Pull bars out of pan with the edges of the parchment paper, transfer to a cutting board and slice. Enjoy!

Notes

There is no added refined sugar, but there is a small amount in the chocolate chips. You can use sugar-free chocolate chips, like Lily's, to make them truly refined sugar free!
