In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well blended and sticky.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the coconut mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the coconut balls are formed, place them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
While the coconut balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the coconut balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated morsel back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or place the tray in the fridge for faster setting (about 15 minutes).
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Mounds Morsels to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or enjoy immediately!
