Recipe for Chocolate Coconut Slice

This is a fantastic, easy treat to make if you're trying to come off sugar or just a healthier choice in your sweets. It's raw so you need to keep it in the freezer. Just cut it into bite size pieces and when you want a sweet treat this will quell your craving.

Makes 1 large tray.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup almonds

1/2 cup cashews

1/2 cup macadamia nuts

1 cup dried dates (medjool)

1 cup desiccated coconut

3 tablespoons raw honey (although you may not need this as the slice is already sweet enough)

3 tablespoons raw coconut oil
