Coconut Chocolate Bars Recipe

What You’ll Need

Gather these ingredients for Coconut Chocolate Bars, and you’re halfway to dessert heaven:

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (fine and fluffyβ€”yum!)
  • 2 cups coconut powder (because double the coconut is double the love)
  • 1/3 cup crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or whatever makes your heart happy)
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk (sweet, sticky magic)
  • 3 tbsp evaporated milk (a little splash of creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet, your call!)
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (for that bittersweet depth)
  • 1 tbsp oil (keeps the chocolate silky smooth)
  • Sprinkles (optional but highly recommended for extra pizzazz!)

Let’s Make Some Magic! Coconut Chocolate Bars

Step 1: Coconut Love in a Bowl

Okay, first things firstβ€”grab a big mixing bowl. Toss in the desiccated coconut, coconut powder, and crushed nuts. Pause for a moment to enjoy the nutty, tropical aroma. 😍

Now, add the condensed milk and evaporated milk. Stir it all together. Don’t worry if it feels stickyβ€”it’s supposed to! You want everything to come together into a thick, delicious coconut dough that holds its shape when you press it.

Step 2: Shape Up and Have Fun

Take a tray and line it with butter paper (trust me, this makes life easier). Plop that coconut mixture onto the tray and press it down evenly. Use your hands, a rolling pin, or whatever you’ve got handy.

Here’s where the fun begins: Grab some cookie cutters! Stars, hearts, Christmas trees, or even simple squaresβ€”whatever makes you smile. Cut out as many shapes as you can and pop them onto the tray.

Step 3: Chocolate, Please!

Now it’s time for the chocolateβ€”oh yes! In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and oil. Pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until it’s smooth, shiny, and ready to coat your bars.

Pro tip: Don’t skimp on the stirringβ€”it’s oddly satisfying and makes the chocolate extra glossy!

Step 4: Dip, Sprinkle, Repeat

One by one, take your coconut shapes and dip them into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off (or don’tβ€”no judgment here!). Place the chocolate-coated bars back onto the butter paper.

Want to go the extra mile? Sprinkle some magic on topβ€”think colorful sprinkles, shredded coconut, or even a pinch of crushed nuts. It’s your moment to shine!

Step 5: Chill and Indulge Coconut Chocolate Bars

Slide the tray into the fridge and let those beauties chill for at least an hour. The wait might feel like forever, but trust me, it’s worth it.

Once the chocolate has set, take them out, admire your work, and take that first glorious bite. The crunch of the chocolate, the softness of the coconut, the nuttinessβ€”it’s pure bliss.
