How to Make Mounds Morsels

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a 17 x 13 1/2 inch cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare your favorite brownie recipe (using a boxed mix or homemade recipe, aiming for approximately 24 ounces of batter). Ensure the batter is not overmixed.
  4. Pour brownie batter onto the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Remove brownie from oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, still on the parchment paper.
  7. Once cooled, cut the brownie into approximately 90 bite-sized pieces.
  8. **Mounds Filling:**
  9. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  10. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons milk.
  11. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  12. Pour the melted butter mixture over the coconut mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  13. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
  14. **Chocolate Glaze:**
  15. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening (or vegetable oil) in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  16. **Assembly:**
  17. Mound a generous spoonful of the chilled coconut mixture onto each brownie piece.
  18. Pack the coconut firmly with your hands to create a smooth mound.
  19. Add an almond slice to the top of each mound (optional).
  20. Dip each coconut mound into the melted chocolate, or spoon the chocolate over the top.
  21. Place the finished Mounds Morsels on a wax paper-lined baking sheet to set completely.
  22. Once the chocolate has hardened (this can be sped up by chilling), store in an airtight container with layers separated by wax paper.
  23. Enjoy!
