Hahahah yeah that makes 2 of the 3 complaints null and void. The other one was the mush like texture. Now that I have it in a small freezer bag I kind of like it. Like you said, I can just spoon it out when I'm hungry if the temps are 60f+. In the winter it'll surely stay a bar. The batch is coming on a 5 day hike in the whites tomorrow. Besides the cocoa PUNCH I do enjoy it.

Nice, enjoy the hike.
Did you use dates or maple syrup? You can do the following to reduce mushiness:
1- Use less coconut oil (maybe 2 TBSP instead of 4)
2- Use fresh dates instead of maple syrup to sweeten it. Fresh dates tend to be pretty sticky and help hold everything together.

Got fresh dates from Trader Joes ... wasn't badly priced at 4.49 for about 3-4 cups. Ended up putting 1 1/2-2 cups in.
