Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on at least two sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is evenly combined.
Step 3
Press the coconut mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Step 5
Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Refrigerate the bars for at least two hours or until the chocolate is firm and set.
Step 7
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and place them on a cutting board.
Step 8
Cut into 12 equal pieces. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
