- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

- Incorporate chocolate chips and vanilla: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
- Shape the bars: Press the mixture firmly into a lined baking dish, smoothing the top to create an even layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dish for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to set and firm up.
