How to Make Coconut Peter Paul Mounds Bars

  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 cups shredded sweetened coconut. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and heated through (about 5 minutes).
  3. Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  5. While the coconut mixture chills, prepare the chocolate coating. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, stirring until smooth. (Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between, to prevent burning).
  6. Once the coconut mixture is firm, cut into bars.
  7. Dip the bottom of each bar into the melted chocolate, using a toothpick or fork to help. Place the dipped bars back onto the parchment paper to set.
  8. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
  9. Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and enjoy your homemade Mounds Bars!
