Calories: 238kcal

Ingredients

Almond Flour Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Stevia sweetener (Truvia)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Chocolate Filling and Drizzle:

  • 4 ounces sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Coconut Caramel Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Brown
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Almond Flour Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 325F.
  • Whisk together the almond flour, stevia sweetener, and salt.
  • Melt butter and into flour mixture until the mixture is well incorporated and crumbly.
  • Place a layer of parchment paper on the bottom of your 8x8 baking pan. Flatten out the crust mixture and press firmly into the bottom.
  • Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and let cool. While cooling, prepare your filling.

Chocolate Filling and Drizzle:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil at 30-second increments. Stir in between and continue to warm at 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
  • Use about 2/3 of the chocolate mixture and spread over the cooled almond crust.

Coconut Caramel Filling:

  • Spread the coconut in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until toasted and light golden brown. Set aside.
  • Over medium heat in a large saucepan, combine the butter and sweeteners. Cook until melted and then bring to a boil. Boil approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add the vanilla, cream, and salt. The mixture will bubble.
  • Slowly stir in the toasted coconut. Spread the mixture over the chocolate-covered crust.
  • Let cool about 1 hour, then cut into squares. Reheat remaining chocolate mixture and drizzle over the bars.
