1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
– In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture is sticky.
2. Shape the Bars:
– Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
– Using your hands, form the coconut mixture into small bars or mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 12-15 bars.
3. Chill the Bars:
– Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the bars to firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
– While the bars are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
5. Coat the Bars:
– Remove the coconut bars from the refrigerator. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
6. Set the Chocolate:
– Place the coated bars back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all bars are coated, return them to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate set.
7. Serve:
– Once the chocolate has hardened, the bars are ready to enjoy!
