Ingredients
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
15 ounces dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate)
Instructions
Prepare the Coconut Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk.
Mix until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture is sticky.
Shape the Bars:
With clean, wet hands, shape the coconut mixture into 12 small rectangular bars.
Place the bars on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Freeze for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt about 10 ounces of the chocolate by microwaving on high for 30 seconds, then in 15-second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely melted.
Add the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate to the melted chocolate and stir until smooth. This method helps temper the chocolate.
Coat the Bars:
Use forks to dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered.
Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the bars back on the parchment paper.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
Notes
Wetting your hands with water before shaping the coconut mixture helps prevent sticking.
For a variation, press a whole almond on top of each coconut bar before dipping in chocolate to create homemade Almond Joy bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
