Moana Kakamora Treat Bars

I’ve been enjoying my fair share of turkey and pecan pie this weekend, but after seeing Moana, I’m craving a tropical treat. These Kakamora-inspired coconut bars fit the bill. Whether you’re looking for Moana party food ideas or just want a fun Moana-inspired treat to make with your kiddos, be sure to pin this recipe.

Don’t let those cute, little faces fool you — the Kakamora are fierce fighters. Banded together in a Kakamora army, they are quite a worthy opponent. The Moana movie is an adventurous tale for the whole family. There are some intense parts, but with villains this cute, even your little ones can enjoy the film.

Have a little Kakamora fun with this free printable Moana Activity Kit. The kit has six different Moana activities including Disney’s Kakamora coloring page as well as a free printable Kakamora template for adding arms, legs and a face to your own coconut! There is also a template for a Moana Memory Match game and more. I’ve also started collecting Moana Party Ideas over on Pinterest.

The Kakamora coconut armor inspired these delicious treat bars, with a gooey filling topped with crunchy toasted coconut — perfect Moana party food.

FOR FILLING:
8 oz Cream Cheese

1 tsp Vanilla
4 cups Powdered Sugar

TO MAKE: Create the crust by mixing the yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter to form a dough; then press into a 9×13 pan. In a separate bowl combine cream cheese, 2 eggs, vanilla and powdered sugar. Mix in half a cup of coconut and half a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. Pour over crust in pan.
