Ensure it is big enough to allow for easy mixing of ingredients. A larger bowl makes the job cleaner and faster.
A sturdy wooden or silicone spoon will work best to combine the coconut and sweetened condensed milk thoroughly.
Essential for lining the board, making it easier to remove the bars later without sticking.
This is key for melting chocolate evenly without burning. If you don't have a double boiler, a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water does the trick.
Freezing the bars before coating ensures they hold their shape during dipping. Make sure there's enough space in your freezer for a flat board or tray.
Variations
Faq
- How much time do I need to prepare this recipe?
The active preparation time is about 15-20 minutes, with an additional 30-40 minutes for freezing and a couple of hours for the chocolate to set.
- Can I use unsweetened coconut instead of sweetened?
Absolutely! Just note that the final bars may be less sweet. You can add a touch of sugar or extra sweetened condensed milk if desired.
- What's the best way to melt chocolate if I don't have a double boiler?
If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a microwave. Heat the chocolate in short bursts (15-20 seconds), stirring in between, until melted.
- Can I substitute dark chocolate for milk chocolate?
Yes, you can! Dark chocolate can provide a deeper, richer flavor and is a great option for those who prefer a less sweet treat.
- Any tips for dipping the bars without making a mess?
Using a fork or a dipping tool can help you coat the bars evenly without making a mess. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the plastic wrap.
- How should I store these bars?
These bars should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll keep well for up to a week, giving you plenty of time to enjoy them!
