 Cream the butter or coconut oil with the honey

 I grind my own almond flour in the coffee mill.  My coffee always tastes like almonds  :)

Note- If you are making the homemade condensed milk- do that first and then make your crust.

Low Carb Cookie Crust

• 1 cup of gluten free Almond Meal flour or finely ground nuts or seeds of choice
• 1/2  cup coconut flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 tsp soda
• 1/4 cup of honey or for lower carbs try erythritol, powdered in coffee mill
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
• 1 egg

1. Combine all the dry ingredients and blend well.
2. Cream your butter or oil with the honey, mix in egg 
3. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and blend well.
4. Press the dough firmly and evenly into a greased 8 x12 baking dish.
5. Bake the crust at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, or until it is lightly browned and firm.  Take out and set aside

Not too Sweetened Condensed Homemade Coconut Milk Filling  (or you can use a can of low fat sweetened condensed milk)

• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1/4 cup Erythritol, to taste (honey or maple syrup works too)

• Stir in sweetener of choice, blend. 
• Simmer, stirring often for apx. 30-40 min,or until the volume reduces and thickens to apx 1 1/2 cups. 

Ok, let's make the bars!  Now on to the toppings!
