No Bake Almond Coconut Bars

These sugarfree no bake almond coconut bars are very delicious and are reasonably healthy as far as baking goes, and it is pretty quick to whip up.

I just use my food processor for the base and filling and a small saucepan for the topping, so there are not too many dishes to clean up.

This is a recipe that we use often as a treat in the kids school lunch boxes.

Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
