Description
These 3-Ingredient Mounds Bars are easy no-bake coconut and chocolate treats with a crisp chocolate shell and a moist, chewy coconut center. They taste just like homemade candy bars and require only a few pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
2½ cups (200 g) sweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup (240 g) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture and shape into small bars or rectangles.
4. Place the bars on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm.
5. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
6. Dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
7. Use a fork to lift the bars, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
8. Place the coated bars back onto the parchment-lined tray.
9. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
10. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Chill the coconut bars before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
Use dark chocolate for a flavor closest to classic Mounds bars.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
