Scale
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 15 ounces dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate)
Instructions
- Combine Coconut and Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
- Form Coconut Logs and Freeze: Using clean, wet hands, shape the coconut mixture into 12 evenly sized logs. Place each log onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for about 20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Most of the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt approximately 10 ounces of the dark chocolate by heating on high for 30 seconds, then continuing in 15 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and completely melted.
- Add Remaining Chocolate: Stir in the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate to the melted chocolate and continue stirring until the mixture is fully melted and combined, creating a smooth chocolate coating.
- Dip Coconut Bars in Chocolate and Set: Using forks, dip each chilled coconut log into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated bars back onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Since the bars are frozen, the chocolate coating will set quickly at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
- Wet your hands before shaping the coconut mixture to prevent sticking.
- Freeze the shaped bars thoroughly before dipping for best results.
- Use good quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate for a richer flavor.
- The chocolate will harden faster because the bars are chilled.
- Store finished bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
