This extremely simple Coconut Chocolate Shark Bark is a fool-proof homemade candy bar that kids will love!

Lately, my kids have been fascinated with sharks. Even though Shark Week is over for the year, they are catching any YouTube or Netflix show that they can about Sharks. My little man even replaced all the books on his bedroom bookshelf with shark books. Their natural inquiry has been fun to follow – I think an aquarium trip is in our near future 😉

Last year we made a fun Shark Attack Punch that my kids had been bluntly hinting towards wanting again…

“Mom, you know what would be great with this book? A cold shark attack drink.”

They get straight to the punch. Literally.

With them enjoying that snack as much as they did, I figured they would love another shark snack recipe. When it comes to kids I try not to reinvent the wheel 😉 This chocolate shark bark was a hit!
