Shape the Bars – Press the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan and smooth it out evenly. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
Melt the Chocolate – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
Coat the Bars – Remove the coconut-almond mixture from the freezer and slice into bars or bite-sized pieces. Using a fork, dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring a full coating. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
