Directions
  • Mix together the condensed milk and vanilla.
  • Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time, stirring inbetween each addition until smooth.
  • Stir in the coconut, the mixture will be thick.
  • Pat this into a greased 9x13 inch pan and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but can be overnight. You want the bars to be set and firm.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and stir until smooth.
  • Cut the chilled bars into 1x2 inch pieces.
  • Add an unsalted almond to the top if you would like the bars to be Almond Joy or leave plain for a Mounds candy.
  • You can dip each into the chocolate to cover and allow to dry on waxed paper.
  • An easier way might be to lay them out on waxed paper and using a silicone pastry brush, brush on the chocolate to cover each bar.
  • Allow to sit and air dry until the chocolate is set.
  • Store in an airtight container.
