1. ### Delicious Chocolate Chip Coconut No Bake Granola Bars Recipe
3. #### Ingredients:
4. - 1 cup rolled oats
5. - 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
6. - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
7. - 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
8. - 3 tbsp honey
9. - 2 tbsp peanut butter
10. - 1 tsp vanilla extract
11. - Pinch of salt
13. #### Preparation:
15. **Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients**
16. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and shredded coconut. Stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
18. **Step 2: Prepare Wet Mixture**
19. In a separate small saucepan, heat the honey over low-medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract; stir until thoroughly combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
21. **Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients**
22. Pour the warm wet mixture into the bowl with oats and coconut. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Add the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts, then mix gently but thoroughly so that they distribute throughout the mixture.
24. #### Optional Enhancements:
25. - For an extra crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of crushed peanuts or toasted seeds on top.
26. - Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon for a delightful spice twist.
28. **Step 4: Press into Bars**
29. Transfer the mixture to a lined 8-inch square baking dish. Using your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup, press down firmly and evenly to form a compact bar shape.
31. **Step 5: Chill Before Cutting**
32. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until firm enough to cut into bars.
34. #### Step 6: Cut and Serve
35. Remove from fridge, then cut into desired-sized bars using a sharp knife. Place each bar on a serving platter.
37. **Step 7: Store Properly**
38. Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage.
