Instructions
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.
