No Bake Chocolate Bars (Dairy, Gluten, Grain, Nut, Refined Sugar and Egg Free)

I always love a good chocolaty treat.  Instead of using nuts I put in some seeds instead so they will be school safe.  I prefer to keep these in the fridge to they stay nice and hard.  These make a great snack as they also provide some protein for energy.

 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup if vegan
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup raw cocao or cocoa
• 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup ground flax seeds

Directions

1. Grease a 8x8 dish
2. In a medium size sauce pan add oil, honey and cocoa.
3. Bring to a boil while stirring frequently.  Allow sauce to boil for one minute.
4. Remove from heat.  Add all remaining ingredients.
5. Pour into greased dish.  Allow to cool on counter and them place in fridge to harden.
6. Cut into squares and store in a closed container in fridge or freezer.
