3 Ingredient Mounds Bar Recipe
Description
The recipe starts with mixing shredded unsweetened coconut and sweetened condensed milk until combined. The mixture is shaped into logs and frozen briefly to firm up. Meanwhile, the chocolate is melted carefully in the microwave to ensure smoothness, then used to coat the frozen coconut logs. The chilled coconut holds its shape during dipping, and the chocolate sets quickly when returned to the cold surface.
The finished bars have a chewy, coconut-rich center with a crisp chocolate exterior. This contrast in texture creates a satisfying bite that captures the essence of classic coconut candy bars. The simple technique and minimal ingredients allow for straightforward preparation without compromising flavor and mouthfeel.
These bars are suitable as handheld treats or quick desserts, easy to make ahead and store chilled until serving.
Ingredients
- 3 cups coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk can
- 15 ounces dark chocolate (or semi sweet chocolate)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut and sweetened condensed milk.
- With clean and wet hands, shape the coconut mixture into 12 logs, placing each on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze for about 20 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt about 10 ounces of the chocolate by microwaving on high for 30 seconds then in 15 second intervals until completely melted. Stir well between each interval.
- Add the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate to the melted chocolate and stir until it is melted.
- Use forks to dip each of the coconut bars into the chocolate, then transfer back to the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Allow the chocolate on the bars to set. Because the bars were chilled in the freezer, the chocolate should set quickly.
