Violet Coconut Bars

Today I thought I would share some of my Naked Violet Coconut Bars too - Is it a fudge, is it a 'Bounty' bar, is it a cake....it indeed is a sweet treat. 
These are just a variation of my Coconut Ladoos aka Bliss Balls from last month generously coated in edible violet crystals.    As Dr Oetker have confirmed that the violet crystals are suitable for vegans.
I also want to share something amazing whilst we were gardening today.  A swarm of bees elegantly, yet loudly buzzed over us on their way somewhere, it was a little thrilling, exciting and a little magical. 
It is with this reason, that I am sharing this picture once again on my blog.  D my husband took a while back.  It a fuzzy bee bumbling and buzzing in our garden around a purple allium.  

Naked Violet Coconut Bars
You will need some silicon moulds
Makes Lots 
Ingredients
4 tablespoons violet crystals
180g dessicated coconut
125g coconut flour
2 teaspoons Violet Syrup or vanilla
4 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
170g coconut oil 
Method
Scatter the violet crystals at the bottom of each silicon mould.
Then blitz all the remaining ingredients in a blender.
Then transfer the filling evenly between the mould, presing with a back of a spoon until all of the mixture is used.
Refrigerate until ready to eat.
Carefully unmould to reveal a pretty purple topped coconut bar.

    Those bars are beautiful and the top photo is mighty impressive - enjoy the sunshine and the garden! BTW we don't get bumblebees in Australia so they have seemed really cute when I see them in the UK

      Thanks Johanna. I am quite surprised to learn that you don't get bumblebees, I can't imagine not having them in the garden.

      I actually don't mind those horrid sweets, a bit of nostalgia for me.

    Sounds good to me, I love the taste of toilet but rarely use it - I think it's a perfect match for coconut! Thanks!

    When I first saw these on the HVF linkup I wondered what they were as they seemed too pretty to be food! I don't know that I've eaten any violet foods before. You have been opening my eyes to lots of new tasty treats!

    And that little bumblebee is so cute!

    Thanks for the recipe, I have to make these, coconut and violet are my two favourite flavours. Although I would probably just eat the violet sprinkles from the tub.

      I hope you enjoy, no you have to use the violet for sprinkling!
