Who doesn't love coconut candy bars? As a home cook with years of family recipe experience, I've perfected this inexpensive alternative to pricey supermarket treats costing over €10 per kilo.
Passed down from my grandmother, these delicious bars come together in under 30 minutes without breaking the bank. Here's the simple, tested method:
Prep time: 25 minutes | Chill time: 1 hour minimum
For 4 servings (about 8 bars)
Cost per serving: €0.48 Difficulty: Easy
For 6-10 bars (about 350g):
1. In a bowl, vigorously mix grated coconut and condensed milk until it forms a firm, whitened paste.
2. Spread the dough on a dish or baking sheet to about 2cm thick.
3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to firm up.
4. Cut into strips or shapes (double quantities for photo batch; cookie cutters work great).
5. Melt chocolate in a saucepan or microwave, stirring to avoid burning. Choose white, milk, or dark for your taste.
6. Coat strips using a spoon and knife.
7. Slice into bars.
Your chocolate coconut bars are ready to enjoy! Store in the fridge, as they melt in heat.
Total: €0.48 per serving or €1.92 for 4 people.
