Ingredients
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate, if preferred)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)
Instructions
Make the Coconut Filling: In a bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk until well combined and sticky.
Form the Bars: Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture and shape it into small rectangular bars. Place the formed bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating: While the coconut bars are chilling, melt the chocolate chips along with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Coat the Bars: Dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the bars back on the lined baking sheet.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated bars for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Enjoy.
