These make an excellent addition to a Thanksgiving gift basket, or a great desert for Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.

Servings: 20 chocolate bars or 100 chocolate pieces
Preparation Time: 30 minutes total

1 cup peanut or almond butter
1/2 cup raw honey
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil
1 1/2 cups dry oats (not instant)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 to 1 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Melt nut butter, honey and coconut oil over medium-low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients.

Stir to combine until chocolate is fully melted. Coconut oil or parchment line the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Pour mixture into pan and cool in the fridge until solid.

When it is set, cut into bars or bites and enjoy! Store in the fridge, as they will soften on the counter.

Y’all, these are much creamier if you add a whole cup of coconut oil!  I love them as is, but if you try them, I would recommend increasing to a whole cup of coconut oil.  And, they are lovely without the dried cranberries in them, if you don’t prefer fruit.  :)

I came to this blog so that I could enter for the 
whole New Mom Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil giveaway – I don’t know where I am supposed to leave my comment – that I learned in your FAQ that Extra Virgin is an arbitary term. Anyway I am glad to have stumbled on these recipes – they look super delicious and I only use coconut oil for baking!
