Almond Flour Crust:
-
Preheat the oven to 325F. Whisk together the almond flour, stevia sweetener, and salt. Melt butter and into flour mixture until the mixture is well incorporated and crumbly.
-
Flatten out the mixture into an 8x8 baking pan and press firmly into the bottom. You can also add a layer of parchment paper in the bottom if you want an easier way to pull the bars out.
-
Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until just golden brown. Remove and let cool. While this is cooling you can prepare your filling.
Chocolate Filling/Drizzle:
-
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil stirring in between, I did 30 second increments until melted and smooth.
-
Use about 2/3 of the chocolate mixture and spread over the cooled almond crust.
Coconut/ Carmel Filling:
-
Over medium heat in a small skillet spread the coconut. Stirring frequently, until toasted and light golden brown. Set aside.
-
Over medium heat in a large saucepan, combine the butter and sweeteners. Cook until melted and then bring to a boil. Boil approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and add the vanilla, cream and salt. The mixture will bubble and this is normal.
-
Slowly stir in the toasted coconut. Spread the mixture over the chocolate-covered crust. Let cool (about 1 hour), then cut into squares. Reheat remaining chocolate mixture and drizzle over the bars.
