Summer is right around the corner, or at least I’m telling myself that in this 60 degree weather. I am loving the sunshine that seems to improve just about everybody’s moods. Maybe it’s just me, but when I’m in a good mood I am usually also in the mood for chocolate. I decided to take a lighter route to one of my favorite flavors and whipped up these coconut bars!

I used sweetened coconut, but if you’re wanting an even “lighter” recipe, raw coconut works too! You can also substitute the dark chocolate for milk, or semi-sweet.

Questions & Reviews

Megan says:

Now I'm definitely craving these - have to make these up and then share them with others so I don't gobble them up all by myself!

Shirley Sandifer says:

Definitely going to make these. Question about your name "Six Sisters" - are there really six sisters? We were four sisters at my house.

Cyd says:

Hi Shirley. Yes, 6 sisters - no brothers. There is 12 years from the oldest to the youngest. You had a busy house too with 4 sisters!! :)

Joell Zeeman says:

I swear I watched a movie on YouTube that one of you had made homemade bean burritos in the Hot Pot but I cannot find your recipe anywhere. My daughter wanted to try the recipe. Help? Lol

Kathy says:

Can you use something else for the coconut oil? I had 4 brothers! One sister, nine years from oldest to youngest!

Tasha says:

Can I substitute the coconut oil? I don’t have any on hand!

Cyd says:

There are a lot of things you can substitute for coconut oil. But it will alter the taste and calories. This is what I found online - What are the best substitutes for coconut oil? Olive oil. Sunflower oil. Almond oil. Avocado oil. Hemp seed oil. Grapeseed oil. Walnut oil.

Cyd says:

Not sure what recipe. Is it this one? https://youtu.be/4G6k20sGg5U

Andrea says:

Omg i added almonds. I grounded them up and sprinkled on coconut mixture before I topped with chocolate. Almond joy treats. Soooo good. Thanks for this awesome recipe

Pam says:

This sounds absolutely delicious! Before making it, would you please provide nutritional information? Thank you!

Momma Cyd says:

With our new website redo, we are making the nutritional info available on all of our recipes. But with over 3000, it will take a little time.

i can't find coconut oil what can i use instead?

Momma Cyd says:

Coconut oil is what will work best with these bars, especially where they are coconut bars - you'll want that coconut flavor. But here is a link to coconut oil substitutes. It will definitely change the flavor of the bars. You can order Coconut oil on amazon. It's also found at WalMart. https://www.bhg.com.au/best-coconut-oil-substitute-replacement

Mike and Kelly Gallagher says:

This recipe sounds great for when you need that sweet treat, but it says it is 600 calories per piece? Is that correct?

Momma Cyd says:

That was with the pan cut into 6 pieces which would be huge. We've adjusted the recipe and now have the pan cut into 16 pieces, but you could easily cut them smaller.
