Choco-coconut Bars
"This recipe is very similar to the Mounds candy bar. With few ingredients, it is
surprisingly easy to make." Original recipe yield: 3 dozen.
INGREDIENTS:
5 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
14 ounces flaked coconut
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Blend the condensed milk and the vanilla together in a bowl. Add the powdered sugar a
little at a time, blending each time until smooth. Stir in the coconut. You should have a
firm mixture.
Pat the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and chill until firm.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high 1 minute at a time,
stirring after each minute, until melted. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and cut
the coconut mixture into 1 x 2 inch bars.
Set each bar on a fork and dip into the chocolate, completely coating the bar. Let excess
drip off, then set on waxed paper. Repeat for each bar. Bars will take several hours to
air-dry; if you are in a hurry you can refrigerate the bars for about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
