Notes
- Where to Buy Ingredients: Paleo Chocolate or Vegan Chocolate Chips | Coconut Flour | Unsalted Creamy Almond Butter | Pure Maple Syrup
- Storing Instructions: On the first day, store in the refrigerator–the topping needs to firm completely. Serve and enjoy within 1 hour. After the first day, you may store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature (1-2 weeks), refrigerator (1-2 weeks). Starting week 2, the bars are a bit drier (like Reese’s PB cup filling), but still delicious.
- Freezing Instructions: These bars freeze well. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes before enjoying.

Hi! I want to make this recipe this weekend, do you know if I could use honey instead of maple syrup? And peanut butter instead of almond butter? Just trying to use what I already have on hand so I don’t have to go out and buy anything else. Thanks!!
★★★★★
Hi Amanda! Yep, those swaps should be just fine. 🙂 Hope you enjoy the bars!
This is awesome! I made my own chocolate : 3/4 cup coconut oil, 3/4 cocoa powder, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla. I got the grind your own almond butter at the store, so it was alittle chunky, but this turned out awesome!!!!
★★★★★
I love it!!! That topping must’ve been incredible. And that grind your own almond butter… mmm mmm! ..
I can’t eat maple syrup – absolutely no sugar, can I substitute it for another sweetener like erythritrol?
Have you tried sugar free maple syrup? That might work! Found here: https://amzn.to/2L7tt6X
Can you tell me what brand of paleo chocolate you recommend? Thanks!!!
YUMMMMM…..delicious! Just as good as it looks. This was my first try at using coconut flour and making any goodies! Worth the small effort! Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
Woohoo!! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed my recipe, Candi! 🙂 Coconut flour can kinda be daunting (I’ve got to be honest haha), so I’m super happy that your first experience was fantastic. Thank you for stopping by & letting me know!
I made these today and I’m sad that I find them bland. 🙁 I don’t want to throw them out (almond butter isn’t cheap!). Any thoughts?
Hi Jamie, so sorry to hear that! No one’s ever told me that these are bland. 🙁 Maybe try adding in a pinch of salt, or increasing the amount of chocolate in the topping?
There might be a problem with the almond butter that you used. If you make them with homemade almond butter, they are anything but bland, they are rich and delicious! Cant seem to get enough of them! Its so much cheaper to make your own almond butter and its really easy too. If you roast the almonds before making the butter, it makes it super delicious? I added a bit of coconut oil to the almond butter because it was bit dry and then because I didn’t have maple syrup on hand, used wild honey as a substitute. My whole family absolutely love them!
★★★★★
i love how simple these bars are…I am going to try them today for kiddos afterschool snack!! I am going to try with almond flour and let you know how it works!
I think these are going to go over well!! They are super tasty and took me under 5 minutes to throw together. I used only 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup cassava, 1/3 cup almond flour, and 1/4 cup golden flax meal. I also mixed in some vit d emulsion for fun, and used half cashew butter! Thank you for an quick and easy recipe!
★★★★★
Easy and delicious healthy dessert!! Thank you! These lasted a week in my fridge and they were still awesome.
Hi Sara, that’s so wonderful to hear! I always try to create the easiest and healthiest desserts possible, so it’s such a treat (yep, pun intended lol) to hear when I hit the mark! Thanks for reporting back. Can’t wait to hear what you try next! 🙂
Thanks for your recipe!! These were easy to make and very yummy!! Any idea how many calories per bar?
★★★★★
Hi Christine! I just calculated the nutrition information. You can find it under the notes in the recipe. 🙂 Enjoy!
Thank you!
Hi,
Do you think I could use almond butter instead of coconut flour? I have an auto immune disease which is why I eat paleo but I also discovered I may be allergic to coconut:(
Hi Claudia, unfortunately, more almond butter won’t thicken the bars the way that coconut flour will. You *might* be able to use almond flour, but proceed with caution since almond flour is MUCH less absorbent than coconut flour. Start with 3/4 cup almond flour and experiment until you get the consistency you like (basically, they should be thick and dense enough to cut through.) So sorry to hear about your possible allergy to coconut. 🙁 Big hugs. xo
