Step 1- Melt the dark chocolate

I usually melt chocolate using a double boiler which can easily be created by bringing a medium pot filled a little less than halfway with water 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/ grated coconut and partially crushed mixed nuts to the hot chocolate and condensed milk mixture with constant stirring.
Don't let the choco-coco mix 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 the help of 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. (Sprinkle 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 into the 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.

You are ready with delicious chocolate coconut bars! Isn't it so easy? Give it a try and do share how you feel about it!

How many servings does the recipe make?

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

I usually cut them in nice neat rectangle 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 to compliment 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 lining is to prevent messing up and thus easy to clean.
Refrigerate at least 4-5 hours/overnight to set it properly. If you slice them before the setting, these will not turn into nice neat bars.
