Matcha green tea and flakey coconut combine inside a snappy dark chocolate shell to create an easy sweet vegan + paleo treat with just 6 ingredients!
Inspired by the ever so delicious Matcha Boom Bars from a company called Nanuki that I discovered while visiting Cape Town (that sadly don’t ship to the US *insert sobbing emoji here*), these chocolate covered matcha bars are the perfect not too sweet but still decadent way to eat matcha for dessert.
Matcha and coconut combine to create the gorgeous green inside, and then we hide all of that inside a silky dark chocolate coating. If you’ve never tried matcha with chocolate I highly recommend. And I highly recommend you start with THESE bars.
I can’t claim my homemade version is AS good as Nanuki, but they are pretty damn delish!
