Coconut bark

These barks are my secret weapon to fight my sweet cravings fast. I make a large batch so I always have them handy. They also make for a great quick snack. It's so easy to make, you almost don't need a recipe-but here are the steps:

       -1tbsp coconut oil
       -2/3c coconut cream (you can use   coconut manna brand as well)
       -liquid stevia to taste
       -alcohol free vanilla extract
       -fruits/nuts for garnish

.Process the coconut cream/oil/stevia/vanilla in a food processor for a few minutes and it will become coconut butter
.pour the coconut butter mixture on a parchment lined cookie sheet
.sprinkle on any fruits/nuts of your choice
.place in refridgerator until the mixture hardens

I did the following variations:
    Raspberry and candied orange peel
    Date/coconut flakes
    Goji berries/cacao nibs
