    <ul class="recipe-ingredients__list">
                                <li>1/2 cup chocolate vegan protein powder</li>
                                            <li>1/4 cup coconut flour</li>
                                            <li>1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk</li>
                                            <li>2 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (+ a bit extra for sprinkling)</li>
                                            <li>1 Tbsp cocoa powder</li>
                                            <li>2 oz dark chocolate (at least 75% dark)</li>
                                            <li>12 raw almonds</li>
                                            <li>A few drops  liquid stevia (optional, depending on how sweet you like it)</li>
                            </ul>

    <h2 class="block-title"><span>Directions</span></h2>

                            <li>In a medium bowl, add protein powder, coconut flour, almond milk, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and stevia if using.</li>
                                    <li>Mix well with your hands, and form 4 bars. The mixture should not be crumbly, and should hold together well. If it's too crumbly, add a small amount of almond milk until the right consistency is reached, and you can form a solid bar.</li>
                                    <li>Add 3 almonds on top of each bar, place on a baking sheet, and put in the freezer.</li>
                                    <li>Meanwhile, melt the chocolate either in a bain-marie or microwave. Once the chocolate is melted, remove from heat.</li>
                                    <li>Remove the bars from the freezer, and drizzle the chocolate evenly on top of the 4 bars. Sprinkle each bar with a bit more coconut, and place back into the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.</li>
                                    <li>Remove from freezer, and wrap each one in cellophane or store in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated.</li>
