How to Make Mounds Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter or shortening and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour, ¾ cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup (115g) chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended).
- Pour batter into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the bottom layer bakes, in a separate bowl, combine one 14-ounce can (397g) sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups (200g) shredded sweetened coconut.
- Remove the partially baked bar from the oven and evenly spread the coconut mixture over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips over the coconut layer.
- Let the chocolate chips melt slightly, then spread evenly using a spatula. Sprinkle with an additional ½ cup (57g) chopped nuts.
- Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating in an airtight container to allow the chocolate to fully set. Cut into squares and enjoy!
- For warmer climates, refrigerating is recommended to maintain optimal texture and prevent melting.
