Pulse until ground into meal. Melt coconut oil and add stevia and vanilla. Add coconut oil mixture to dry ingredients to form a coarse paste. Press mixture into an 8 x 8 glass baking dish. (A parchment paper liner helps when you want to remove the bars from the dish.) Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour, until mixture hardens.For chocolate topping:In a double boiler, melt 4 squares of unsweetened chocolate and butter or coconut oil, stirring in stevia or xylitol to taste (it takes quite a bit of sweetener because the chocolate is very bitter).Spread melted chocolate over bars; return to refrigerator for 30 minutes, until chocolate hardens.Remove from refrigerator, cut into bars and serve.Variation: Use other combinations of raw nuts and raw nut butters, such as macadamia.Keep refrigerated. These also freeze well.
