Ingredients
- 3 C coconut flakes
- 1 C sweetened condensed milk
- 2 C chocolate chips (any kind)
Directions
Combine coconut flakes and condensed milk in large bowl. Mix well.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and shape it into a small oblong rectangle. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture is used. For larger bars, adjust size as desired. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm.
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler. Place the chips in a heat-safe bowl over a pot with 2 inches of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place back on baking sheet and repeat.
Allow the bars to harden before serving. Yields 30 smaller bars (about 1 inch each).
