CHOCOLATE CHIP COCONUT NO-BAKE GRANOLA BARS
I was looking for a way to have healthier snacks on hand for my kids lunches and on the go snacking. This recipe can be modified to include fruit instead of the chocolate. The date paste helps hold it together nicely and dates are known as nature's candy. No refined sugar except for in the chocolate chips. You could include carob chips or whatever kind of chips your kids like. The dried fruit version is yummy as well!

Steps:
- 1. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, mix well.
- 2. Sift dry ingredients and gradually add to wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips and coconut.
- 3. Spread evenly into greased 9 X 13 inch pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-22 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are good choices.
- If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over low heat until the mixture thickens and turns a golden brown color.
- To toast the coconut, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- For a chewy coconut bar, use flaked coconut. For a crunchier bar, use shredded coconut.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a larger pan and adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

These chocolate chip coconut bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are chewy, gooey, and loaded with chocolate chips and coconut.
