Recipe -MarkyD's Coconut Almond Bars

Here is the recipe for my newest Primal Treat. I am pretty sure that the Paleolithic man did not actually eat these, but if he found one lying around, he would have been cised.

I made these yesterday and brought them to Blain's house. I put them on the counter, turned my back - and they were all gone. I actually never had any, but I am gonna say they were good.


-Get a large mixing bowl.
-Add the following (since I am not down with the Zone, I don't weigh or measure. So open your mind and add quantities that you feel are right)



-In a small cup Heat 1 spoonful of coconut oil in the micro for 15 seconds and pour the liquid in the mixing bowl.
-Add a couple of spoons of almond butter
-Pour in about a cup of shredded coconut
-Add half a cup of slivered almonds (Trader Joe's, unsalted and toasted work well)
-Mix in some dark choc chips
-Drizzle in honey

-Mix and smash with a wooden spoon. Break up those almond slivers.
-Make sure the consistency is not too liquid. If so, add more coconut and almond.
-Taste. Is it sweet enough? If not, add more honey. Repeat.
-Put wax paper in a baking dish. Pour in mix and spread thin.
-Freeze it - 20 minutes

-Take it out, flip it over, peel off the wax paper and cut into squares. Pieces will break off. Eat these (cook's bonus!)

Put squares in a bowl and back into the freezer. Take out 5 min before you serve.

Watch them disappear.
