Coconut Bars

I am most certainly a human with very human needs. Chocolate is one of those very human needs. After finding out I was lactose intolerant many moons ago, I was forced to get creative with baked goods and sweets. And while I may have gone over board from time to time (I have Isa Chandra’s Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar to thank for that), I think I’ve finally maintained a healthy amount of indulgences.

I’ve been following pretendhealthfreak’s drool-worthy Instagram for a few months and came upon her recipe for Bountylicious Slice. This coconut bar recipe derives from hers. Mine is VERY similar because her’s is that good, but I did make some alterations.
