Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 24 whole almonds
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture, shape into a small rectangle, and place on the baking sheet.
  4. Press one almond on top of each coconut piece. Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with shortening in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each coconut-almond bar into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place back on the baking sheet.
  7. Chill until chocolate is set, about 15–20 minutes.

Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
