5-Ingredient Coconut Rough Slice

A rich, fudgy no-bake slice that tastes like a healthier take on a chocolate coconut bar. The date and peanut butter base is dense, chewy and naturally sweet, while the shredded coconut and cacao powder give it that classic “rough”, chewy and a little crumbly texture. The melted dark chocolate on top sets into a firm, glossy shell that cracks satisfyingly with each bite. Slice it for a lunchbox treat, an afternoon energy hit, or a healthier dessert option, it also freezes well for meal prep.
