Press into 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to press it down into pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully, lift up on parchment paper and remove bars from pan to cool. Use a pizza cutter to cut into bars.
To make Chocolate Drizzle
Melt chocolate chips over a double broiler or in the microwave. Melt on low heat just until they start to look shiny. Take off heat and stir. If not completely melted, put back on heat for just a short time. If you get it too hot, chocolate will seize. Stir in coconut oil. The warmth from the chocolate will melt it. Drizzle over bars or eat it with a spoon... both ways tasted great!
