Easy INCREDIBLE Homemade 4 Ingredient Coconut Cream Bars - Mounds Copycat Recipe #Christmas #homemadecandy #Christmascandy

 

You guys, these 4 ingredient, no bake, bites of heaven are my new favorite thing.  I have been making them for many years for Christmas and have been trying to hold off on making them again until Christmas rolled around again. My husband loves these and has been craving them, so being the good wife that I am, I got out a bowl and went to work.

Easy INCREDIBLE Homemade 4 Ingredient Coconut Cream Bars - Mounds Copycat Recipe #Christmas #homemadecandy #Christmascandy

I say “work” but actually these are one of the easiest treats you can make.

Stir together 3 ingredients in about 30 seconds. Then take about 30 more seconds and press the mixture into a pan. Now this next part takes about an hour but the good news is you don’t have to do anything but pop the pan in the freezer. When they’re nice and cold, dip these coconut-creamy-dreamy bars in melted chocolate and, voila! You’re in candy heaven.

Here’s a few tips to make this as easy as possible:

  • After the coconut mixture has been frozen quickly cut into bit sized pieces, then put them back in the freezer.
  • Once your chocolate is melted, take out one row of bars at a time, and leave the rest in the freezer until you’re ready to dip them.
  • If they get too warm they will fall apart in the hot chocolate, so keep them frozen while you work on a few at a time.
  • Once they are dipped and the chocolate is set, they can be refrigerated, frozen, or left at room temperature.

Make these for your friends and family this Christmas – you’ll be everyone’s favorite 😉

    I am going to make the PayDay Chex mix and I have a question. At the end of the recipe it says that you can store it for two days. Why? Why only two? I am curious about whether or not you can store it for longer and why you put that sentence in the recipe. I don’t want anything to spoil but I would love to make this ahead of time. Thanks.

      This Chex Mix is a little sticky from the caramel, so after a few days it starts to soften the cereal, and it just doesn’t taste as good. It really is best eaten fresh 🙂

    I made these on Dec 19th, 2016 and I have this to say about them. They are awesome. Love them. As for anyone who thought they might be too sweet, here’s what I did. I poured all the coconut into a bowl, I added the sweetened condensed milk, mixed it up real well by hand. Then, I added the powdered sugar to taste. Once it reached the proper taste, I just made them into balls, froze them, melted the chocolate and then dipped them into the chocolate, placed them on parchment paper and let them set up. They taste super awesome. Just like the real deal. Oh, as for the chocolate, I did mix some semi-sweet chocolate chips with the chocolate candy disk for melting. The taste and texture and look is just like the store bought. Awesome, awesome, awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Definitely a keeper and will definitely be making these many times over. NOTE** I used sweetened coconut. Also, I did not set aside any coconut for the tops. I used all of it for the candy.

    OMG! My problem is that I am diabetic and these treats are loaded with sugar. So, I compromised and used unsweetened coconut and only 1 cup of powdered sugar. I put whole toasted almonds on the top before freezing. Then I cut and dipped the pieces in melted bittersweet chocolate. Sweet enough for me and satisfies my need for coconut and dark chocolate.

    I made these yesterday because they sounded so delicious. The filling was easy to make although you need to make sure the coconut is thoroughly mixed with the condensed milk or else it does not stick together. I lined my pan with wax paper which made it real easy to get out for cutting. I melted the chips in the microwave as recommended. I found it to be too thick to easily coat the pieces. I added a little vegetable oil which helped a bit. It was not easy to coat the pieces, chunks of coconut would fall off into the melted chocolate. Also, I found that the 24oz bag was not enough to coat all the pieces because it is so thick. I would make it again but I definitely would figure out how to thin the chocolate better.

      Try using melted coconut oil to thin the chocolate….it thins the chocolate for dipping, firms up at room temperature, and adds a little more coconut taste!

I love coconut and chocolate!! I have completed this recipe and yes it’s easy to make the dipping part was awful I will say I haven’t tasted the final product yet but the coconut mix is awesome!! There is either something I did wrong or some tips you could post because we had chocolate everywhere and our bars look a HOT MESS!! LOL!! Well thanks for the wonderful recipe I’m sure the final product tastes awesome just looks awful lol. If there are any tips you could suggest I would love them if not I’m afraid I will not be making this again. It was just too messy for me.

      I always cut and dip just one row at a time, leaving the rest in the freezer until ready to use. This keeps the bars firm enough to dip and they keep their shape best this way. Hope that helps! Glad you liked them 🙂

      I’m glad you liked them! The easiest way to dip them is to work with one row at a time, leaving the rest in the freezer until ready to dip. I just drop one at a time into the chocolate and spoon chocolate over the top. Then I lift them out from underneath with a fork. Hope that helps for next time 🙂

    Do you think this will work?… line the bottom of my pan with parchment and spread a little chocolate on the bottom then a little of the coconut mixture, then place an almond 4 across & six down to get 24 squares then cover with remaining Coconut mixture, set to freeze and then cut and cover with remaining chocolate. Just saves on the dipping process I think and you get an Almond Joy instead of just a Mound 🙂

    • Stephanie says

      December 16, 2013 at 8:46 pm

      Yes, I think that would work! But you will want to make more than 24 bars. I cut mine pretty small, maybe 48 instead? I’m all about saving time – let me know how it works out for you. Thanks, Beth!

    I just made these. They are very tasty!! I have a couple of tips for this recipe. First, add three (3) tbsps of crisco to the chocolate to thin it out. Cut pieces of frozen coconut very small. (Once you coat them they get bigger!). Use a two prong fork, dip frozen coconut mixture into chocolate to cover the bottom, place on fork, spoon over the chocolate, and bang the fork to get rid of some of the chocolate or it is way too thick.

    I had really bad luck melting regular choc chips one year. Is there a good process for melting chocolate. My chips turned into a big thick ball of tough chocolate. Did I have the heat too high? Sadly these ingredients can be expensive and there in no room for messing up. Any brand or process you recommend?

    Reply
    • Stephanie says

      December 8, 2012 at 3:04 pm

      Hi Cherie, you may have better luck with chocolate Almond Bark. You can find it in the same aisle as chocolate chips at the store. The easiest way to melt chocolate of any kind is to use the microwave. Heat for 30 seconds and stir. Heat another 30 seconds, stir. Then heat and stir at 15 second intervals until melted and smooth. If you over heat chocolate it will seize up and be unusable. I hope this helps!

    Quick question. It says to stir together coconut (but in the ingredients it says “divided”, so how much should be stirred originally? Later it says to add the remaining coconut, so I’m not sure what the division of coconut should be.

    Also, should you be using sweetened or unsweetened coconut?

      Hi Courtney! I’m so sorry about that…I just edited the recipe with more specifics. Initially you will stir in about 20oz of coconut, leaving 4oz to sprinkle on top at tthe end. I used sweetened coconut. Thanks for your question! I’m glad you brought it up so I could fix my mistake. Hope you enjoy the bars! 🙂

    This is a winner recipe! My hubby has a big certification exam on Saturday. He LOVE coconut, so I think he’ll be getting a special coconut cream bar treat when he gets home. 🙂 Thanks for posting.

    I’d really like to make this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

    A quick question: Do 2 cups of powdered sugar equal 20oz?

    These look so simple to make. Can you believe that this past week I was searching my cookbooks high and low for a recipe that I did years ago for Mounds candies and this looks pretty close to it. Since I can’t find my recipe, I’m going to give these a try soon for Christmas candies.
    Thanks for the recipe!

    there is honestly nothing in this world quite like the combo of coconut and chocolate! And I love coconut and sweetened condensed milk together – kind of like a mounds bar, which are one of my very favorites.

    Kinda sorta FREAKING OUT(!!) over these bars, Stephanie! Almond Joys/Mounds are my FAVE candy bar EVER and these look so scrumptious and dangerously simple to make 🙂 I want the whole pan and then some!

    Hi, from New Zealand, just found your blog and it’s great. It’s Sunday night in Auckland and I just showed my husband your lovely coconut cream bars, he said YUM make those, they look so nice. So I’m getting the coconut tomorrow and will give them a go. Thanks for the lovely blog. Penny

        I use sweetened. I think the flakes look bigger in the photo – they are just regular sweetened flaked coconut 🙂 Enjoy!
