2 minutes read

Prep: 10 minutes
Chill: 30–45 minutes
Serves: ~10–12 bars


 Ingredients

For the Coconut Filling

  • 2 cups (160–180 g) shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 200–250 g chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for smooth coating)

 Instructions

1. Blend the Filling

  • Add coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt to a blender or food processor.
  • Blend until it forms a thick, sticky mixture.

👉 It should hold together when pressed—like a soft dough.


2. Shape the Bars

  • Scoop and shape into small rectangles or logs (like mini candy bars).
  • Place on a tray lined with parchment paper.

3. Chill

  • Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
    👉 This makes dipping MUCH easier.

4. Melt the Chocolate

  • Melt chocolate with coconut oil (microwave in 20-second bursts or double boiler).
  • Stir until smooth and glossy.

5. Coat the Bars

  • Dip each coconut bar into melted chocolate.
  • Let excess drip off, then place back on parchment.

6. Set

  • Chill for 10–15 minutes until chocolate hardens.

 Q&A / Tips

Can I make it healthier?

Yes:

  • Use unsweetened coconut + maple syrup instead of condensed milk
  • Use dark chocolate (70%+)

Why is my mixture too dry?

  • Add 1–2 tbsp more condensed milk or coconut cream

Too sticky?

  • Add a bit more shredded coconut

Can I skip the blender?

Yes—just mix well in a bowl, but blending gives a smoother texture.


How do I get smooth chocolate coating?

  • Add coconut oil
  • Make sure bars are cold before dipping

Storage

  • Fridge: up to 1 week
  • Freezer: up to 2 months

 Flavor Variations

  • Almond version: add a whole almond inside (like a Bounty/Almond Joy)
  • Lemon coconut: add lemon zest
  • Protein boost: mix in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

 Pro Tips

  • Use a fork to dip bars for cleaner coating
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty upgrade
