Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened based on preference)
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk until fully blended. This forms the creamy, sticky base of your bars.
  2. Shape the Bars: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the coconut mixture into small, oval bars resembling traditional Mounds candies. Place them on parchment-lined trays.
  3. Chill the Bars: Pop the shaped bars into the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. This makes dipping in chocolate easier and cleaner.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave until smooth and glossy.
  5. Coat and Set: Carefully dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully covered. Place them back on parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • Choose quality chocolate: Using good-quality chocolate chips enhances flavor and glossy finish.
  • Keep coconut dry: Drain any excess moisture from the coconut to avoid soggy bars.
  • Work quickly when dipping: Chocolate sets fast, so dip efficiently for neat coating.
  • Use parchment paper: Prevent sticking and simplify cleanup by working on parchment-lined trays.
  • Store properly: Refrigerate bars to maintain texture and keep chocolate from melting.
