Coconut Munchies

I go to the health food store with the kids, and I am ALWAYS hungry. At some point, I got addicted to these simple coconut bars that they have. I looked at the ingredients one day and realized that they are very simple to make. I tried making some for myself, and they were a big success.
2 cups dried, shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
Preheat the oven to 350.
Pour the coconut into a bowl that has been lined with spray oil. Add 2 tbsp of the rice syrup and mix until combined. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of rice syrup and mix well. The mixture should start to stick together. When it holds together, you have succeeded! It might take more or less syrup depending on the day, humidity, etc.
Press the mixture into a loaf pan (I prefer my cast iron one). Place in the oven until it starts to become golden on top. Remove from oven and let cool. Cut into bars and enjoy when you get the munchies!
