Chocolate Haupia Bars: chocolate coconut milk gelatin

 Haupia is a Hawaiian gelatin made from coconut milk. It is very delicious and refreshing. In the North shore of Oahu there is a Chocolate Haupia Pie that is crazy good. But, since I have dietary restrictions, I can no longer enjoy the Chocolate Haupia Pie from Ted's Bakery. It was my favorite pie. I just had to make a Paleo friendly version and a low carb version. These yummy bars are the result. They really taste quite similar, only much healthier. Now I can go to Oahu and resist Ted's naughty pie. This can be made with or without the crust. Can be made low carb as well.
