I’m such a cheater. Or a copy cat. However you’d like to view me. I kinda made this recipe based off my No-Bake Sticky Apple Bars. But those bars were delicious so why not try them with a different kind of fruit. THANK GOD I DID. These were delicious. Laura didn’t seem to love them as much as I did, but Sergio looked like he had just won the lottery when he tasted one…and then went on to eat half the batch.
I went out on the town this weekend. It was Sergio’s birthday AND we had to celebrate Regionals being over with, so we needed to go hard. That meant I drank alcoholic beverages. And many of them. I felt like it was time. I don’t really even remember the last time I drank. Pretty much because I don’t really like alcohol. It tastes like nail polish remover. But I was able to go out with some wicked cool CrossFitters who I never see outside of there workout persona…and workout clothes, so that was a blast. I have really good looking friends. NBD. AND I got to get my flirt on. WINNING.
We went to a bar that was all about dancing. So you can imagine the smile I had on my face. Especially since they were playing Beyonce when I walked in. My God I love Beyonce. AND THEN I got to dance with this man, who doesn’t seem like women are his main squeeze, and the dancing was pretty wicked awesome. He was amazing. I flailed around like an idiot (intoxication makes you feel like a better dancer. fact.) and did whatever he told me to do. He literally would tell me what dance move I should do next. It was awesome. My tiny inebriated brain didn’t even have to think while I was dancing. Wicked.
I don’t really like alcohol. Even though I didn’t have a hangover, I felt like everything was moving in slow motion yesterday. How do some of you people out there drink every weekend? It’s exhausting. I’d much rather sit in on a Friday or Saturday night and make paleo desserts, like this one.
BTW, I finally got instagram. I’m not sure what I’m doing and my pictures suck ass, BUT I LOVE IT. I’m trying to be the best instagramer I can be! Wanna follow me?! Please please do! I take lots of pictures of food that looks like dog food. Super delish. Find me @paleomg! Kthanksbye.

These look so great, but mine came out runny. Was there a trick to the cooking time on the berries?
The coconut concentrate should thicken it up!
So the crust is crazy-ass good but my fruit topper was way too runny. I’m waiting for it to harden up in the freezer right now. I may need to use more of the coconut concentrate. It just didn’t thicken it enough.
Mine was a little runny too, and I cooked it a little longer, and used a potato masher to crush the berries up a little more. That seemed to help.
Hey girlie…I just started the whole 30. OMG 🙁 I can not even look at your site, or I start drooling! 🙂
Good lord…I just made these and ate about half of them while standing in the kitchen!!!…And coincidentally, I went out and drank for the first time in a long time last Saturday night as well. Seems I felt the need to make up for a ton of lost drinking time all in one night. I danced like Elaine…by myself…and felt like pure shit for 2 days. Ya, how do people do that regularly?!!! Effing not awesome!!!
I think I could just eat the crust – – – with a spoon.
Just put them in the fridge to set…. not before eating the warmed version ,mmm tasty! They were meant to be for me to take to the box tomorrow…. but not sure they’l last that long hehe 🙂
I made these for a BBQ with my Ironman friends….they are going to die! I got 12 6oz clamshells of blackberries from my co-op….the perfect excuse to make these :0)
Okay, with those ingredients, there’s NO WAY these bars aren’t amazing!!!! & you are so hilarious. 🙂
Just made these and they are in-freakin-credible! It kind of reminds me of a paleo-cobbler.
I used agave syrup instead of maple syrup, and they still came out super tasty!
Loved these. Like a few other posters, my topping also came out a bit runny. Will try to cook my fruit down a little more next time. They are delish!! The base I could eat all by itself!
These were so delish! Like others, my topping was bit too gooey and didn’t set up as well as yours. But I simply put my bars in cupcake liners and that solved my sticky/messy finger problem. Also, as a variation, I sprinkled unsweetened coconut flakes on top.
I’m a month into Paleo eating and I’ve lost over 15 lbs. (w/ daily intense exercise) and I’m so glad that there are Paleo desserts like these to get me through my sugar cravings.
Do you think you’ll have an APP anytime soon?
As soon as I can afford to create one Jackie!
