"This recipe is very similar to the Mounds candy bar. With
few ingredients, it is surprisingly easy to make." Original
recipe yield: 3 dozen.
Ingredients:
5 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
14 ounces flaked coconut
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Cooking Steps:
Blend the condensed milk and the vanilla together in a bowl. Add the powdered sugar a
little at a time, blending each time until smooth. Stir in the coconut. You should
have a firm mixture. Pat the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and chill until
firm.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high 1 minute at a
time, stirring after each minute, until melted. Remove the pan from the refrigerator
and cut the coconut mixture into 1 x 2 inch bars.
Set each bar on a fork and dip into the chocolate, completely coating the bar. Let
excess drip off, then set on waxed paper. Repeat for each bar. Bars will take several
hours to air-dry; if you are in a hurry you can refrigerate the bars for about 30
minutes. Enjoy!
