Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on at least two sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is evenly combined.
Press the coconut mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the bars for at least two hours or until the chocolate is firm and set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and place them on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 equal pieces. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
