Ingredients
4 to 5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 cups chocolate chips
28 whole almonds (roasted)
Sliced almonds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Line two 8×4-inch baking pans with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and lightly spray with baking spray. Set aside. Also prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the condensed milk and shredded coconut. Use your hands to combine thoroughly until the mixture is thick, slightly crumbly, but sticky enough to hold shape.
Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared pans and press firmly into an even layer.
Place whole almonds on top, spacing so each future bar will have two almonds.
Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
Remove one pan from the freezer, invert onto a cutting board, and remove the lining. Cut into 7 bars.
Return bars to the freezer and repeat with the second pan.
Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power until smooth.
Dip each bar into melted chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off.
Place coated bars onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds if desired.
Chill in the fridge or freezer until chocolate is set.
Serve and enjoy once fully set.
Notes
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze for longer storage; thaw slightly before serving.
Adjust coconut quantity depending on moisture level for best texture.
You can use dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
