What can I use in place of coconut?
You can just leave it out if you’re not a fan 🙂
How well do these freeze? If I wanted to make a big batch, could I freeze them?
We haven’t tried freezing them yet. With similar items, I’ve added them single layer to a ziplock bag, topped with a paper towel. You can usually do 2 or 3 layers this way (make sure to use a paper towel between each layer). Defrost in the fridge or on the counter. The paper towels will absorb the moisture to keep things fresh.
What does is say 1 bottle of Tsamma Juice? Where do you add it in?
Hi Ashley,
The Tsamma Juice is to pair with the bars. It’s not actually included in the recipe.
