Indulging in a 3-Ingredient Mounds Bar Recipe is like taking a mini-vacation to a tropical paradise. These no-bake chocolate-covered coconut bites are not just easy to make; they encapsulate the delightful combination of rich chocolate and sweet, chewy coconut, making them a popular choice for candy lovers everywhere.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened condensed milk (or coconut cream for a vegan alternative)
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate chips for vegan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well combined and the coconut is fully coated.
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the coconut mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish, creating an even layer about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the coconut layer from the refrigerator. Cut it into bars or squares. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the chocolate-coated bars back onto the parchment-lined dish. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened completely before serving.
