Print Recipe
- 3 cups of sweetened shredded coconut
- 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 24 oz bar of chocolate almond bark
- 1 cup of almonds
Line a large baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. (make sure the tray can fit in your freezer) in a medium sized mixing bowl add the coconut, condensed milk and the powdered sugar and stir until everything is mixed together.
Wet your hands a bit and start forming 3 inch small bars with the coconut mixture. Place on the parchment paper lined tray and repeat until you have no more mixture left.
Freeze for 30 minutes. In a large microwave safe bowl add the almond bark into it and microwave and stir 30 seconds at a time until melted. Set the bowl next to the tray of somewhat frozen coconut bars. Pick one up and drop into the chocolate. Flip around using two forks and tap and scrape off any chocolate that’s dripping off. Place back into the parchment paper and top with 1-2 almonds on top.
Repeat with the rest of the coconut bars. Place back in the freezer for 30 minutes to make sure the chocolate is solid. Remove from the freezer and serve and enjoy!
