Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture is sticky.
-
Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the coconut mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly and pressing down firmly.
-
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
-
Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
-
Once set, remove from the dish and cut into bars. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
For a twist on the classic, try using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a sweeter flavor. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coconut mixture for an extra layer of flavor. If you prefer a nuttier taste, sprinkle some chopped almonds on top of the chocolate before it sets. These bars can also be made vegan by using dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut condensed milk.
