This easy-to-make 3-Ingredient Mounds Bar recipe combines shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and rich dark chocolate to create delicious, homemade coconut bars covered in a smooth chocolate coating. Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings with minimal ingredients and effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 15 ounces dark chocolate (or semi sweet chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Combine Coconut and Condensed Milk: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the unsweetened shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and sticky enough to hold shape.
  2. Shape Coconut Logs: Using clean, wet hands, form the coconut mixture into 12 evenly sized logs. Place each log onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze the shaped logs for about 20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt approximately 10 ounces of the dark chocolate by microwaving on high for 30 seconds, then continue in 15 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Incorporate Remaining Chocolate: Add the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate to the melted chocolate and stir until completely melted and combined, ensuring a smooth coating.
  5. Coat Coconut Bars: Using forks, dip each frozen coconut log into the melted chocolate to fully coat it. Transfer the coated bars back onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  6. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating on the bars to set at room temperature or in the fridge. Since the bars were chilled in the freezer, the chocolate will firm up quickly, resulting in a crisp outer shell.

Notes

  • Use wet hands to handle the sticky coconut mixture for easier shaping.
  • Dark chocolate can be substituted with semi-sweet chocolate depending on your preference for sweetness.
  • Store finished bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh for up to one week.
  • Freezing the bars before coating helps the chocolate set faster and prevents melting during dipping.
  • You can sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on the chocolate before it sets for a sweet and savory contrast.
