Remember last week when I blogged about the most ridiculous RAW chocolate spread ever? Well I just kicked it up a notch. Turn that spread into delicious bars you can even trick your husband into eating it {mine did – and he still thinks they’re real chocolate. Shhh}.

These bars are a synch to put together, taste delicious straight from the refrigerator andddddyour waistline won’t increase from indulging in them! It’s a win win.

Gather all of the ingredients.

In the bowl of your food processor mix together 1 cup of gluten free oats, 1/4 cup of nuts {your choice – I did a mixture of pecans and almonds}, 15 dried apricots, 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil {warmed so that it is liquid} and a pinch of salt. Process together until grainy.

Using your fingers press the crust evenly into the bottom of an 8″ x 8″ pan.

Spread 1-2 cups {depending on how thick you want them} of the raw chocolate.

Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Chill until hard. Slice and serve!

Remember to keep these bad boys in the fridge, they taste much better this way.
