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!
