3-Ingredient Mounds-Style Bars

Your New Favorite No-Bake Dessert: Easy Homemade Mounds Bars

If you love the classic mix of coconut and chocolate, this simple treat is calling your name. Think chewy coconut centers covered in rich, velvety chocolate—all made with just three ingredients.

No baking, no special tools, no fuss. Just mix, chill, dip, and try not to eat them all in one go. The perfect fix for any sweet craving!


Ingredients

IngredientNotes
Shredded CoconutUse unsweetened for the best balance of flavor.
Sweetened Condensed MilkActs as the binder and gives that chewy texture.
ChocolateDark or semi-sweet works best—chips, bars, or melting wafers are all fine.

Yep, that’s really it!


Directions

1. Mix It Up
In a bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. The mixture should be thick and sticky—that’s exactly what you want.

2. Shape the Bars
Scoop out portions and form them into bars or small logs with your hands. To avoid sticking, dampen your fingers slightly. Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray.

3. Chill
Pop the tray in the freezer for about 20–30 minutes until the bars firm up. This helps them hold their shape when dipping in chocolate.

4. Melt the Chocolate
While the bars are chilling, melt your chocolate. Use 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each, or melt gently over a double boiler until smooth.

5. Dip and Set
Coat each bar completely in melted chocolate, letting any extra drip off. Place them back on the tray and allow them to set—either at room temperature or in the fridge to speed things up.

6. Store and Savor
Keep your homemade bars in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month (if you can keep them around that long!).
