Low-Carb Coconut Chocolate Bars
Low-Carb Coconut Chocolate Bars
Low carb • Sugar-free coconut bars, chocolate coat — 15 minutes, eight bars

Eight bars. Chill the centers before you dip or they fall apart in the chocolate.

Health notes
- Protein: Low. These are candy bars, not a shake.
- Lower carb than store coconut bars: Unsweetened coconut and sugar-free chocolate. Close to keto-zero at 3g net.
- Eight bars: Macros are per bar, not the pair in the photo.
- Sweetened coconut or sugar chocolate will jump the carbs. Stay unsweetened.
Key element — pack tight, chill, then dip
Loose mix crumbles in the chocolate. Stir unsweetened coconut with oil and allulose until it holds, like panel 1. Pack 8 tight bars, like panels 2 and 3. Chill until firm, dip in melted sugar-free chocolate, like panel 4, and set until the coat snaps, like panels 5 and 6.
Ingredients
Bars (8)
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 3 Tbsp powdered allulose
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream or coconut cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Coat
- 5 oz sugar-free chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Swaps
- Almond extract: A drop instead of vanilla.
- Darker coat: Use all dark sugar-free chocolate.
- Sweetened coconut or sugar chocolate: Skip them. That is how carbs jump.
Instructions
| 1 | Mix. Stir coconut, melted coconut oil, allulose, cream, vanilla, and salt until the mix holds, like panel 1. |
| 2 | Shape. Pack 8 tight bars in your hands, like panel 2. Set on parchment, like panel 3. |
| 3 | Chill. Freeze 15 to 20 minutes until firm. |
| 4 | Dip. Melt chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil. Dip each bar, like panel 4. Let extra drip off. |
| 5 | Set. Chill until the coat snaps, like panels 5 and 6. One bar is one serving. |
Pro tips
- Pack tight. Loose bars crumble in the chocolate.
- Chill before you dip. Warm centers fall apart.
- Unsweetened coconut only. Sweetened flakes jump the carbs.
- Let extra chocolate drip. A thick coat hides the coconut look.
- Keep them cold. The coat softens on a warm counter.
