Butterfinger Bars

This does not fall into the "Whole Foods" category by any means, but you gotta live a little, right? My only complaint about these bars is that unless cold, they fall apart very easily. But I prefer my chocolate cold or frozen anyways, so it all works out for me, and these are so yummy they are worth the mess even if they warm up.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 sleeves graham crackers
  • 1/4 c coconut oil
  • 1/2 c peanut butter (I use all natural - crunchy or smooth works)
  • 1/2 c unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 T sugar or honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 c chocolate chips
  • 1 T peanut butter

Crush graham crackers to crumbs. If you like things super smooth, use a blender or food processor. If you like things more chunky like me, just throw them in your mixer and let it crush them down for you (plus less dishes to wash after:). Add the coconut oil, 1/2 c peanut butter, coconut, sugar/honey, and pinch of salt. Press mixture into an 8x8 glass baking dish for thinner bars, or a bread pan for thicker bars (pre-oiled or sprayed with cooking spray).

Melt the chocolate chips plus 1 T peanut butter and drizzle over the top and put in the fridge or freezer to set up. Make sure to cut into bars before they are frozen solid (speaking from experience, otherwise they break into more of a bark-like dessert...). Keep cold until serving.

 Delicious!
