Calories: 423kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 10 oz milk chocolate
- 5 oz semisweet chocolate
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut with the condensed milk. Stir to combine.
- Scoop out some of the mixture and form it into a log (keep in mind, I made 12 for this recipe, you can choose to make yours smaller if your prefer). Make sure they are pressed firmly together so they hold.
- Place the coconut logs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Put in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place 2/3 of the chocolate in a double boiler placed over simmering water. Stir well, until it melts, about 3 - 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add remaining chocolate. Stir well until it melts, about a minute more.
- Remove the coconut logs from the freezer.
- Dip the coconut bars into the melted chocolate. I used two forks to roll them over and completely coat them. Repeat for all bars.
- Place the coated bars on top of a baking rack. Place a sheet of parchment paper underneath the baking rack to make for easier clean up.
- Immediately sprinkle with extra coconut if desired. Allow several hours to set.
- Store in an airtight container on the counter up to 4 days.

Notes
- I used a mix of milk and semisweet chocolate. You can use just semisweet or just milk if you prefer.
- Dusting with coconut at the end is optional.
- These are best stored at room temperature. They will be drier if stored in the fridge. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid the chocolate from melting.
- Can be frozen up to a month in a proper airtight freezer container.
