How to make dark chocolate coconut bars?

You can find this super easy chocolate with coconut bars recipe video below, but the quick overview of the procedure is as follows:

Step 1 Melt the dark chocolate

I usually melt chocolate using a double boiler, which can easily be created by filling a medium pot with water a little less than halfway to a simmer.

Place a heatproof bowl on top of this cooking pot and add the chocolate and condensed milk to the bowl. Continuously stir the chocolate and condensed milk until it melts. Keep the heat low.

Step 2 Add coconut and nuts

Add desiccated coconut and roughly chopped mixed nuts to the hot chocolate and condensed milk mixture with constant stirring.

Don't let the chocolate-coconut mixture cool down as this will start hardening and coconut and nuts will not mix properly.

Step 3 Line and fill the tray

I use a rectangle tray of size 9.5 x 6 inches for making these bars. Any container/dish of any size works best for these bars. The use of parchment is necessary. The greasing or spraying is not going to work.

Properly line the tray with parchment paper. Once all the ingredients are combined, pour them into the lined tray/dish. Gently press it down evenly with a rubber spatula.

To make it nuttier and crunchy, sprinkle nuts and coconut on top of the choco-coco mix after pouring it into a tray (add as much as you like).

Step-4 Refrigerate

Refrigerate the tray for 4-5 hours to harden the chocolate coconut mix. Once it is fully set, we can cut it into bars of our choice. Give enough time to cool and set.

Step-5 Slicing into bars

Here comes the final stage of cutting into bars. Lift out the parchment paper from the tray and gently separate the choco-cocoa mix from the parchment paper.

Cut in bars of the size you like square, rectangle, diamond, etc., I prefer a rectangle shape as it's easy to grab from the longer side.

How many bars does the recipe make?

How many servings this recipe makes depends on how big you like to make your bars.

I usually cut them into neat rectangular bars. To make bar shapes, make one horizontal cut going in one direction and several cuts from the opposite direction. It was 20 bars that came out of a 9.5 x 6-inch tray, but you can make bars of your choice.

Tips

• Keep nuts a little chunky to highlight the texture that compliments the sweet treat.
• Use parchment as the resulting stuff will be stickier. Make sure to overhang the parchment paper on both sides so that you can grab the overhang to lift it out. Another good reason for using a parchment is to prevent mess up and easy cleaning of the dish. 
• Refrigerate at least 4-5 hours/overnight to set it properly. If you slice them before the setting, they will not turn into nice neat bars.
