Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% pure peanut butter
- 1¼ cups sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon natural sweetner like Swerve you can use honey for low-carb
- ½ cup unrefined coconut oil Use the solid form because you are going to melt it with the chocolate.

Instructions

- Pour into an 8x8-inch removable bottom pan. Top with shredded coconut.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens. It takes about 4 hours.
- Slice into square pieces, and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Make sure the bowl does not have any water or moisture in it when you melt the chocolate, as it'll cause it to seize up.
- Loosely cover the chocolate in the fridge as it sets up, so it doesn't absorb any scents from the fridge.
- Feel free to change around the nuts for a different flavour.
- To store: Place the chocolate coconut bars in the fridge in an airtight container.
- To freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
