Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky, cohesive mixture forms.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing it firmly with the back of a spatula or your hands to create a compact layer.
Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut cleanly.
Remove the chilled coconut mixture from the pan using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 12 equal bars or rectangles.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or tongs, dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the bar on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all bars are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Store the Mounds Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
