No-Bake Coconut Bar/Snowballs (paleo)

Coconut lovers will love these bite-sized treats! Coconut is a nutritional powerhouse so you can feel good about indulging in these. In the past, I’ve rolled these into little balls and called them ‘snowballs’. However, recently I have enjoyed making these into bite-sized bars by lining an 8″ x 8″ baking dish (or a plastic container with a lid if I’m planning on traveling with it) with plastic wrap, pressing the mixture into the dish, and then cutting it into preferred sized bars once it has firmed up in the fridge.

Ingredients

Directions:

1. Place 2 cups of shredded coconut and the coconut oil in a high-speed blender (or food processor) and pulse until it is a paste-like consistency.
2. Add all the remaining ingredients except the remaining 1 cup of coconut, and process until well mixed.
3. Add the remaining 1 cup of shredded coconut and pulse until combined.
4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls for ‘snowballs’ or press the mixture into a plastic-wrap lined container or baking dish (I recommend an 8″ x 8″ sized container but it doesn’t matter greatly).
5. Refrigerate until firm.
6. Serve cold.
