Ingredients

  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together shredded coconut, condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Press the coconut mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals or over a double boiler until smooth.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled coconut base and spread evenly.
  6. Return to the fridge for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.
  7. Lift bars from the pan using parchment, slice into squares or bars, and serve.

Notes

  • Add chopped almonds for Almond Joy-style bars.
  • Use white or semi-sweet chocolate for different flavor variations.
  • For firmer filling, increase powdered sugar slightly.
  • To prevent chocolate cracking, let bars sit at room temp before slicing and use a warm knife.
  • Use sweetened condensed coconut milk and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
