Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Press the coconut mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Ensure it's evenly distributed and firm.
  • Chill the coconut base in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Once chilled, cut the coconut base into desired bar shapes (e.g., rectangles).
  • In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
  • Dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. You can use forks or toothpicks to help.
  • Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can drizzle extra chocolate on top if desired.
  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Notes

Store leftover Mounds bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
