How to Make Coconut Chocolate Squares
- Line an 8x8 inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides.
- In a large bowl, gently combine 4 cups sweetened flaked coconut and 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk until evenly moistened. Use your fingers or a spatula to ensure the coconut is coated.
- Press the coconut mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
- Refrigerate uncovered for 5 minutes to slightly firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips on low power, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the coconut layer.
- Refrigerate for 7-10 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.
- Sandwich the two halves together, coconut sides inward, to create an 8x4 inch rectangle. Remove parchment paper.
- Cut the rectangle into 16-20 squares.
- Refrigerate until serving time for best results.
