Speaking of coconut…wowsers these are fabulous! I used the same ingredients that are in the coconut cream pie larabars and they turned out pretty good. The portions aren’t exact so you might need to play around with it to get the bar consistency. Yum yum, go coconuts! Mandy’s Version of Coconut Cream Pie Bars 1 1/2 C Almonds, unsoaked1/2 C Cashews, unsoaked1 C shredded coconut6 pitted dates3-4 Tbsp coconut oil Process nuts in food processor then add remaining ingredients until it all sticks together. Pat into an 8×8 pyrex pan and refrigerate to firm up bars. Enjoy!
