How to Make Coconut Chocolate Bites
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides for easy lifting.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the sweetened flaked coconut (3 cups) and the condensed milk (14 ounces) using your fingers or a spatula until evenly moistened.
- Press the coconut mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Refrigerate uncovered for 5 minutes to firm slightly.
- Melt the chocolate chips (12 ounces) in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
- Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the coconut layer. Spread evenly using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate for 5-7 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the confection out of the pan onto a cutting board.
- Cut the confection in half lengthwise to create two 8x4 inch rectangles.
- Place the two rectangles together, coconut sides inward, to form an 8x4 inch rectangle. Remove the parchment paper.
- Cut the rectangle into 32 equal squares.
- Arrange the squares in paper cups on a platter or serving dish.
- Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. Enjoy!
