The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make the 3 Ingredient Coconut Mounds Bars (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):

• Unsweetened flaked coconut
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Chocolate – we used Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers. They melt very nicely and have great flavor. The bags are 10 ounces, so we needed one and a half bags for this recipe. But you can use any dark or semi-sweet chocolate that you like.

How to Make 3 Ingredient Coconut Mounds Bars

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut with the sweetened condensed milk.

Form the coconut mixture into 12 logs. This will be a sticky job, so it works best if you wet your hands with water. You’ll probably need to rinse your hands a couple of times during the process of making all 12 logs.

Place the coconut logs on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for at least 20 minutes.

Melt about 10 ounces of the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, then continue to microwave in 15 second increments until completely melted, stirring well between each cooking interval.

Add the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate and stir until melted and the chocolate is smooth. The reason for this way of melting the chocolate is that adding the solid chocolate to the melted and then letting them melt together helps temper the chocolate.

Use forks to dip each coconut bar into the chocolate until completely covered. Allow some of the excess chocolate to drip off the chocolate bars.

Place the chocolate bars back on the parchment paper and allow them to rest until the chocolate is set.

How to Store the Mounds Bars

Keep the homemade Mounds Bars in an airtight container. They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to five days.
