Coconut Carob Bars - Recipe

I originally posted this in my other blog (Cook With Nikki), but really felt that it should be posted in here because, well... They're just that good!

I've made these a bunch of times now, and many people have tried them and enjoyed them! I've also made a few variations of this recipe with a peanut butter filling, but you'll have to check back later for that one... ;)

If you have any questions about making these, feel free to ask me! :)

Coconut Carob Bars

Ingredients: 

• 6-8 dates
• 2 tbsp carob powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup quick cooking oats
• 1/4 cup ground coconut
• 2 tsp agave nectar
• 1/4 cup coconut butter + 2 tsp agave nectar
• Topping: 1/4 cup carob chips

Method: 

• Mix all ingredients (except the "topping") together in a food processor until a dough has formed.
• Press dough into a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. 
• Melt the carob chips in a microwave for about 35 seconds, and stir. 
• Drizzle the melted carob chips over the dough, and spread it evenly across the whole surface. 
• Place it all in the fridge for 1-2 hours, then cut into squares. 
• Eat, and enjoy! :)
