Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut until well mixed. This sticky blend will form the chewy base of your bars.
- Shape the Bars: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the coconut mixture into small, rectangular bars. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the bars chill, melt your dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
- Coat the Bars: Dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Return the coated bars to the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
- Enjoy! Once set, your 3 Ingredient Mounds Bars are ready to be devoured or stored for later indulgence.
Notes
- Chill the coconut bars before dipping to prevent the chocolate from melting prematurely.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor and texture.
- Shape bars uniformly for even setting and professional appearance.
- For extra chocolatey bars, dip twice allowing the first layer to harden before the second dip.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Customize by adding chopped nuts, spices, or using vegan alternatives if desired.
