3-Ingredient Mounds Bars
Ingredients:
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups dark chocolate chips
Directions:
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended and holds together.
2. Using your hands or a spoon, shape the coconut mixture into small bars or mounds, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
3. Place the shaped coconut bars onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
4. Transfer the tray to the freezer and allow the coconut bars to firm up for 30 minutes.
5. While the coconut bars are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
6. Remove the coconut bars from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.
7. Place the chocolate-coated bars back onto the parchment-lined tray.
8. Once all bars are coated, transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate hardens completely, about 15-20 minutes.
9. Once set, the Mounds Bars are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
