"Paleo" Shakeology Candy Bars

The only reason these aren't truly paleo is because I used Shakeology which contains grains. However, I feel like the benefits of Shakeology FAR outweigh my concern that it includes grains and it's a much healthier addition than mere cocoa powder or carob powder though if you are looking to make it 100% paleo then these options would work as well.

Fairly high in calories, these make a great snack for something sweet to give you energy! Just be careful to only eat one serving because they're SO good!

Ingredients:
1 T. raw honey (optional but really good!)
3 T. coconut oil
1/4 c. chocolate Shakeology
1/2 c. ground nuts like almonds or hazelnuts (use your food processor to get a meal-like consistency)
3/4 c. unsweetened shredded coconut

1. Melt honey and oil in microwave.
2. Add to it the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour into parchment lined baking sheet (smaller the better and silicone ones are great for this).
4. Refrigerate couple hours or until hardened.  Makes 4 servings.

Tip: Double your batch and freeze some!
