Ganache Bars

Bars are great to make for parties and events, especially when you are tight on time.

I made these just with the few ingredients I already had in the house for a 1 year old birthday party!

Unfortunately, Milo is too young to enjoy such indulgences, but one day...

I made these Gluten Free, using almond and coconut flour, if you would like to use white flour follow this recipe for the crust.

Ingredients

Crust:

2 sticks Earth Balance butter (for vegans, otherwise regular)

1 cup sugar

1 cup almond flour

1 cup coconut flour

2 cups shredded coconut

1 cup chopped almonds

Chocolate Ganache Filling:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

12 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the to 350

Grease a tart pan, I used 9 inch square. Anything about that size will work.

In a mixer, combine the butter and sugar until smooth.

Mix in the flour and then the coconut and chopped nuts.

Press 2/3 of the batter into the pan

Bake for 20 minutes

In the meantime, make the chocolate ganache

Warm the milk and melt the chocolate chips together in a double broiler.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust

Crumble the remaining batter over the chocolate

Return to the oven for 15 minutes

Cool on a wire rack

Birthday Boy!
