You guys, these 4 ingredient, no bake, bites of heaven are my new favorite thing. I made them last year 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.
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.
Make these for your friends and family this Christmas – you’ll be everyone’s favorite 😉

I only had one bag of Bob’s Red Mill unsweetened coconut (12 oz) so that was all the coconut I used, and these still turned out great!

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 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.
