Coconut Clean Snacks are a DIY knockoff of the clean eating version of Clean Snax by Melissa’s, made with simpler household pantry ingredients.
Coconut Clean Snacks
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Coconut clean snacks are my recipe of the day.
I had been shopping at Kroger recently when I grabbed a pack of Melissa’s “Coconut Clean Snax” and really enjoyed them so thought I would try to make these at home, especially since I thought my daughter might be interested in a money-saving scratch recipe.
Basically everything I needed to make it a go was in my pantry so I went for it.
These turned out amazingly similar except maybe mine are thinner. But I knew that was going to happen when I spread my mix and saw the pan was a bit big.
I was lazy so didn’t change it- didn’t want to waste my nonstick foil.
It turns out they get nicely crisp just like their thicker counterpart. Of course you can try a smaller pan and a smaller cut if you want them in little squares. The bake time might possibly be a little longer.
I think you can use either honey or sugar-free honey in these (maltitol) or even a vegan equivalent.

Notes
These sound so yummy! I was wondering what would be in these when I saw your comment about them earlier this week! I know I would love them…and they’d be crunchy nut death to B.O.B. Bob…which means that they’d be all for me!!!
