Makes 6 bars | 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes |
Hands-on time: 10 minutes | ⅓ cup dry-roasted and salted macadamia nuts |
Total time: 10 minutes | 10 large Medjool dates , pitted and chopped (about 1 cup) |

Makes 1 cup | 1 ( 14 -ounce) can full-fat coconut milk |
Hands-on time: 5 minutes | 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (optional) |
Total time: 8 hours | ½ teaspoon vanilla extract |
