What size pan?
Hi Annette, thanks for catching that. Use an 8×8 inch baking pan. A 9×9-inch would also work but bars will be a bit thinner.
Absolutely best coconut bar I have personally made!!! Thanks so much for a great recipe!! I read another recipe that had added a bit of coconut cream, would this work here? Thank 🙂
Thanks Tammy, they are one of my favourite guilt free treats as well.
I just made these for my daughter, my husband and myself. My granddaughter enjoyed them too. They are so easy to make! I cut them into much smaller pieces. We all loved them. Will definitely be making them again.
Betsy So glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe
How do you think these would ship? Our Grandson is stationed in Germany and would love these!
I wouldn’t take a chance shipping them as the need to stay refrigerated.
hi there from india. how long will they last in the fridge ?
Hi Megha, should last at least a week, tightly sealed so the squares don’t dry out
Idk if i missed it but how many servings and calories per serving?
Jennifer, 16 squares, but sometimes I cut it into smaller bite sized pieces.
Absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Can I freeze them? We will not eat them within a week and I would hate them to go bad.
Hi Irena, sorry for late response, yes they freeze well.
