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 amazing! One question….Are the cashews raw?
raw or roasted will work just fine
What other spice could you use besides cinnamon? I’m allergic to it – and this time of year is ROUGH for recipes!
just leave it out!! it will still be delicious without it 🙂
Is there ANY thing I can replace the coconut with? Im allergic to it and corn. Such a drag, but Im hell bent on making me some tasty desserts!
🙂
not really in these bars 🙁
Hi there,
I am a bit confused about the berries… 6-8ounces… how do you decide how much to put in? also how much is that in the metric system? (from NZ)
whatever package it comes in. and I’m not sure about metric system
i added the coconut butter (bought from the store) while the berries were cooking not at the end …oops. The topping turned out pretty running and there a hard film on the top. Did I totally screw this up? Is it a big deal if I added the coconut at the wrong time? The bars tasted good, but there was a prominent coconut flavor.
did you use frozen berries? they tend to be much more runny which could be the reason it came out like that
Thanks for sharing such a great recipe! I didn’t cook my berries long enough so I had to eat it right out of the pan with a spoon ( please don’t judge LOL) but I will make this again for sure!
I think these would be good with dark chocolate on top too!! Thank you!
Can I sub another nut for the cashews? How about pecans or almonds?
yep!
My mom first made these to bring to a family gathering. The whole crowd loved them and would have never guessed they were Paleo lol! I came home and made them myself using blueberries and raspberries. Good stuff, seriously! 🙂
There is a HUGE problem with these bars…..THEY GO MISSING WITHIN A HALF AN HOUR!! So then I have to make more, and THEY go missing! I guess the only thing I can do is keep making these DELICIOUS bars!
ha! that’s how i feel! glad you liked them!!
