We love cocoa nibs because they are intensely flavorful without being too sweet. In this recipe, the nibs’ slight bitterness is a welcome addition to these cookie bars. Tropical coconut pairs well with the cocoa nibs. We use both shredded, unsweetened coconut as well as coconut oil to infuse multiple layers of coconut flavor into each bite. If desired, butter or canola oil can be substituted for the coconut oil.
