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

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky, cohesive mixture forms.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut cleanly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Store the Mounds Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
