These homemade 3-Ingredient Mounds Bars are a simple and delicious way to enjoy the classic candy bar right at home! With just sweetened coconut, condensed milk, and melted chocolate, you can create rich, chewy, and chocolatey treats that taste just like the real thing.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate for a classic Mounds flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coconut Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until well combined and the texture is sticky but holds together.
- Shape the Bars: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out small portions of the coconut mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) and shape them into small rectangular bars. Place the bars on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Coat the Bars: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Chill: Place the dipped bars in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
