Servings: 13 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers (*See note)
Instructions
- Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. The mixture should hold together but will be sticky.3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup powdered sugar
- With damp hands, form small bars out of the coconut mixture. Each bar should be about 2-3 inches in length.
- Place the coconut bars onto the prepared baking sheet. It’s ok if they’re close together. Freeze for 10-15 minutes just long enough for the bars to cool and set but not to freeze solid.
- Prepare a second, larger baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and set aside.
- In a heat-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate melting wafers until smooth. Use two forks to dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate.10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then transfer the candy to the second, large baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining bars and chocolate. Place into the freezer for another 10-15 minutes so the chocolate has a chance to set.
- Remove the freezer and enjoy!
