Homemade Chocolate Dipped Coconut Luna Bars Recipes

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE DIPPED COCONUT 'LUNA BARS'

Steps:

• Put cereal and oatmeal in a small food processor/chopper and pulse until the cereal is chopped fine. Don't process it too much or else you'll end up with flour.*
• Place cereal and oat mixture in a large mixing bowl and add in the coconut, protein powder and cocoa powder.
• Add the brown rice syrup, honey, peanut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla to a small sauce pan on medium-low heat. Stir mixture and heat until everything is melted and combined, about 2 minutes.
• Pour over the dry ingredients and stir very well, making sure to coat everything.
• Line a pan with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly into the pan. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the mixture, then press down as firmly as you can. Really press it down.
• Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.
• Spread the chocolate on top of the bars and freeze for at least an hour before slicing.
• Store the bars in a sealed container in the freezer, fridge or a room temperature. I like them straight from the freezer!
