  • Using your hands, form the coconut mixture into small bars or mounds (about 1 to 1 ½ inches in size) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up before shaping.
  • Place the baking sheet with the coconut mounds into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the bars are firm.
  • While the coconut bars are chilling, melt the dark chocolate. You can melt it either in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave (heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth), or by using a double boiler over medium heat.
  • Once the coconut bars have firmed up, dip each one into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Use a fork to lift the bars out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment paper.
  • Return the chocolate-coated bars to the refrigerator and let them chill for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened.
  • Once the chocolate is fully hardened, remove the bars from the parchment paper and serve. Enjoy your homemade Mounds Bars!

    • Serving and Storage:

    • Serve these Mounds Bars chilled for the best texture and flavor.
    • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage (up to 2 months).

    Tips:

    • If you want to make these bars a bit sweeter, you can substitute some of the unsweetened shredded coconut with sweetened coconut flakes.
    • For a more decadent treat, drizzle some extra melted chocolate on top of the bars after coating them, or sprinkle with a little sea salt to enhance the flavors.
    • Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate, for a unique twist on the classic Mounds Bar.

    Variations:

    • If you like a little crunch, consider adding chopped almonds or other nuts to the coconut mixture before forming the bars.
    • For an extra creamy texture, you can mix a few tablespoons of coconut oil or heavy cream into the shredded coconut and condensed milk mixture.
    • Add a hint of vanilla extract to the coconut mixture for added flavor.

    Conclusion:

    These 3-Ingredient Homemade Mounds Bars are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy the sweet combination of coconut and chocolate. With minimal ingredients and effort, you can create a treat that tastes just like the classic candy bar, but without the artificial ingredients.
