I’ve recently stumbled upon a really great paleo blog, Taylor Made it Paleo. Not only is Taylor totally adorable, but she also makes some pretty fun treats. Paleo treats! Go check her out.

I made her Strawberry Coconut Bars… and then I dipped them in chocolate 🙂 Why the heck not?! and THEN I made them with raspberry and dipped them in chocolate again! WHAAAAT? Craziness. I know. Both we delicious and I’m sure you could do the same with all kinds of freeze-dried fruits. Mango, Blueberry, pineapple…. the world is your coconut bar.

Make sure you use your leftover melted chocolate to make some almond, walnut, or macadamia bark!
