These decadent-looking coconut bars are made from surprisingly healthy ingredients, including desiccated coconut, light cream cheese, dried apricots, cacao and rice syrup. When a sugar craving strikes, you will definitely appreciate these gluten-free, grain-free healthy snacks. They are perfect for lunch boxes and enjoying on the road too.

- Place all the ingredients in your blender. Process all together. Line a small loaf pan with a parchment paper.
