Almond Coconut Bars, Gluten Free and Dairy Free

September 24, 2013

These almond coconut bars make the perfect snack.

1-1.5 cups of Almonds (I used raw almonds and roasted them in our oven set at 350 degrees F. for 10 min. After they cooled I chopped them into pieces. If you don’t want to roast them yourself, you can buy dry roasted almonds in the store.)
1 cup of unsweetened Coconut chips (I found these at Whole Foods in their bulk section. I roasted them in our oven at 350 degrees F. for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to keep your eye on them, and stir them at least once or twice while roasting.
1-1.5 cups of puffed Brown Rice (I found this at Whole Foods in their bulk section, but I believe our local Winco had it in their bulk section as well.)
1/2 cup of unsweetened Coconut flakes (I usually purchase this in the bulk section at Winco also. These are smaller desiccated coconut flakes and look like this picture. I also roasted these in the oven for a couple of minutes. 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes. Stir at least once or twice.
1/2 cup sweetened shredded Coconut (roast in the oven set at 350 degrees for about 2-3 minutes, or until it is starting to change color and look toasted.)
3/4-1 cup of Raw Honey (You might need a little more or less. It depends on how sticky you like your bars.)
