No-Sugar Coconut Fudge Bars (with a Secret Ingredient)
We used raisins because we had them on hand but figs or dates would also work perfectly.

- Total Time: 2 hours 15 mins
- Yield: 20 small sqaures 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups raisins or dates
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, separated
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup high quality chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare 9×9 pan with non-stick spray and a piece of parchment paper over it. Leave enough parchment hanging over the side to use as handles to lift the entire pan of bars out later on.
- Combine raisins and 1/4 cup coconut plus cocoa powder, chocolate chips, salt and honey in a food processor and plus. Eventually it’ll all come together in a big ball, almost like dough.
- Press all the “dough” into your prepared pan. Tip: It’ll be sticky so use the back of your measuring cup to press it down and flatten out.
- Sprinkle remaining coconut on top and press that in too.
- Cool in fridge for about 2 hours, allowing it to firm up, then cut into bars. NOTE: If your dough is too sticky for bars, bake the pan in the oven at 250 degrees F for about 20 minutes. OR mix in about 1 cup of whole oats and roll into balls.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge.
