Ingredients: 1 cup Shredded Coconut (-unsweetened and medium-sized shreds are perfect for making creamy chewy centres for this chocolate bar.); 2 tbsp Irish Cream Liqueur; 1 tbsp Sweetener (-Powdered Allulose or Monk fruit best avoids a grainy texture.); ⅓ cup unsweetened Coconut Cream; 6 oz Dark Chocolate (85%); 21/2 tbsp Sweetener (only if using unsweetened chocolate)

Combine the coconut filling ingredients in a food processor, and pulse the mixture a few times to make it firm and bind together. This step will help the mixture stay in shape when forming the bars.

Divide the mixture into small 12-14 squoval bars like a bounty bar using your palm and fingers as if you are making sushi. They should be about 2 inches in length.

Place the coconut bars on a parchment-lined baking tray and set them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up. 

Prepare a double boiler by simmering a cup of water in a saucepan, then place a heatproof bowl over it.

Add the chocolate to the bowl and let it melt completely, then stir in the sweetener (if using). Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and runny. Turn down the heat to keep the chocolate warm without overcooking it.

Take the coconut bars out from the freezer and coat each bar using two forks, one to turn it over carefully in the chocolate and the other to lift it out of the bowl. PRO TIP: As you lift it out, tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to let excess chocolate flow back into the bowl. This step helps achieve a thin coating around the coconut bars and saves a lot of chocolate for the rest of the bars.

Place the chocolate-covered coconut bar back onto the same parchment-lined tray (or a new one ).

Once all the bars are covered, dip a clean fork into any leftover chocolate and make markings on the top of each bar ( like a Bounty bar). 

Freeze the bars for 20 minutes, transfer them into a container, and keep them in the fridge for 7-10 days.
