1
Cook notes: I used salted almonds to place on the tops of the bars before they hardened.
-
2
I also made a batch using dark chocolate and milk chocolate.
-
3
Loved them both ways.
-
4
Keep in mind the dough/candy is very sticky so use wet fingers when molding them into a pan or molding/rolling them into balls.
-
5
I prefer making these into balls or oval shapes instead of bars.
-
6
But do what you like.
-
7
Combine coconut with condensed milk, add a pinch of salt and mix until smooth.
-
8
Refrigerate for 20 minutes to harden up.
-
9
At this point you can: place the mixture into a small pan and cut out bars after theyve hardened OR you can roll them into oval shapes (like eggs) or balls.

10
I chose the latter since its a lot easier than slicing them into bars.
-
11
The dough is very sticky so use wet fingers to mold.
-
12
After youve molded them into balls or ovals, place on parchment lined trays and put in fridge for at least an hour before dipping into chocolate.
-
13
I also found it a lot easier to gently freeze them a bit (like 5-7 minutes before dipping into chocolate).
-
14
Melt the chocolate in a double-boiler.
-
15
Using two forks roll/dip the balls in the chocolate, making sure to coat all sides.
-
16
Place on a rack and top with an almond or two if desired.
-
17
When all are done refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
-
18
Should make about 15 18, depending on the size you roll them.
