With this simple and delicious recipe, you can make your own version of Mounds or Bounty Bars. A sweet coconut filling is encased in rich dark chocolate in these homemade bars.

Ingredients: 2 cups desiccated coconut. 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 2 cups dark chocolate, chopped.

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the mixture comes together and is sticky. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into rectangular bars or your preferred shape. Place the shaped bars on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or using a double boiler. Remove the coconut bars from the refrigerator and dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the chocolate-coated bars back on the baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once the chocolate is set, your homemade Bounty Bars are ready to be enjoyed!
