Instructions

In a food processor add the coconut, raspberries, agave and vanilla.
Using the pulse button pulse the mixture a few times until it all starts to form together.
Remove the container and scoop the mixture into a parchment line bread pan. (I used a cake pan, to make mine smaller)
Press and smooth the mixture and them place in the freezer for two hours.
About 10 mins before you remove the mixture from the freezer melt your chocolate pieces in a double boiler or in the microwave.
Remove from the freezer and using the parchment paper lift out the frozen mixture and cut into 7 bars. I cut mine into 2" pieces.
Place 1 piece at a time in the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper until the chocolate is set.
