Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line an 8-in. square baking pan with parchment paper. (Note: Allow paper to hang over sides so bars won’t stick.)
  2. In large bowl, mix honey, almond meal, cashew butter, cashews, dates, coconut, chia seeds, puffed rice, almonds, orange juice and salt until combined.
  3. Transfer mixture to baking pan and press down. (Note: Use flat object that fits within pan to compress ingredients.)
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely, around 20 minutes. Lift from pan with parchment paper and place on wire rack for additional 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Using sharp knife, cut into bars.
  6. In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in 15 second increments until liquid.
  7. Dip top of each bar in chocolate and place on wire rack, chocolate side up; top with orange zest and coconut shreds.
  8. Refrigerate coated bars for 10 minutes before wrapping individually in parchment paper.
  9. Store in cool place, covered, for up to 1 week.
