Enjoy Christine Bailey’s Chocolate Coconut Bars Recipe

Our Egmont Manuka Honey tastes great direct from the jar but can also be used in lots of different ways. We asked nutritionist Christine Bailey to share some of her favourite ways to use Egmont and first up is her Chocolate Coconut Bars recipe.

A delicious treat for the whole family, these bars can be kept in the fridge for two weeks or frozen for up to three months – if you can resist them that long, that is! 

If you want to give these a try for yourself, the full recipe is below. Meanwhile keep a look out for Christine’s second recipe, the ultimate Breakfast Berry Smoothie coming later this week.
