Ingredients

• 2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well blended and sticky.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Once all the coconut balls are formed, place them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or place the tray in the fridge for faster setting (about 15 minutes).

Step 7

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!
