Ingredients
| Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|
| Shredded Coconut | Unsweetened works best to keep it from getting too sweet. |
| Sweetened Condensed Milk | Binds everything together, giving a soft, chewy texture. |
| Chocolate | Dark or semi-sweet is ideal—chips, bars, or melting wafers all work. |
Yep, that’s all you need!
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Combine
In a bowl, stir together the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. The mix will be thick and sticky—totally normal.
2. Form the Bars
Scoop portions and shape them into bars or logs with your hands. Wet your fingers slightly to prevent sticking. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
3. Chill
Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm. This makes them easier to coat in chocolate.
4. Melt the Chocolate
While the bars firm up, melt your chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler until smooth.
5. Coat and Set
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Let excess drip off, then return to the tray. Set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker results.
6. Store and Enjoy
Keep in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month—if you can resist eating them all immediately!
