These no-bake coconut crispy treats are a healthy snack for both kids and adults.
These coconut crispy treats are excellent for a quick and easy dessert that’s healthy too!
You can drizzle chocolate over the top of them or dip them in chocolate to make homemade mounds candy. I used toasted coconut in this recipe but you can use un-toasted shredded coconut if you prefer.
Note: If you’re looking for a sugar-free substitute for maple syrup, you can use Lakanto Maple Flavored Sugar-Free Syrup instead. Slowly add the syrup into the mixture until it tastes right. You’ll need less than what’s called for in this recipe since it’s so sweet.
