Ingredients
Crust
1 ¼ cups almond flour (125g)
¼ cup Swerve Sweetener
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, melted
Chocolate Filling and Drizzle:
4 ounces sugar free dark chocolate , chopped
2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Coconut Caramel Filling:
1 ½ cups shredded coconut
3 tablespoon butter
¼ cup Swerve Brown
¼ cup Bocha Sweet or additional Swerve Brown
¾ cup heavy whipping cream

¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Crust:
-
Preheat the oven to 325F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture begins to come together.
-
Turn out the mixture into an 8×8 baking pan and press firmly into the bottom. Bake about 15 to 18 minutes, until just golden brown. Remove and let cool while preparing the filling.
Chocolate Filling/Drizzle:
-
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it double boiler style over a pan of barely simmering water.
-
Spread about ⅔ of the chocolate mixture over the cooled crust.
Coconut Filling:
-
In a medium skillet over medium heat, spread the coconut. Stirring frequently, toast until light golden brown. Set aside.
-
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and sweeteners. Cook until melted and then bring to a boil. Boil 3 to 5 minutes, until golden.
-
Remove from heat and add the cream, vanilla, and salt. The mixture will bubble vigorously, this is normal.
-
Stir in the toasted coconut. Spread the mixture over the chocolate-covered crust. Let cool completely (about 1 hour), then cut into squares. Gently reheat remaining chocolate mixture and drizzle over the bars.
