Description

These mounds bars are easy to make and rich with dark chocolate and a coconut filling consisting of shredded coconut, coconut oil and agave.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Dark Chocolate 73%
  • ½ cups Shredded Coconut
  • ¼ cups Coconut Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar

Preparation

Melt chocolate in a small pan over very low heat; you can use a double boiler if you wish and temper the chocolate. Using a small paint brush, coat the bottom and sides of a mounds candy mold.

Place mold in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

In a small bowl, combine shredded coconut, coconut oil and agave.

Remove mold from the freezer. Fill chocolate-lined molds with coconut mixture. Paint chocolate over the coconut mixture to cover the bars.

Place in freezer for 10 minutes to harden. Remove from the freezer, turn mold upside down and pop mounds out of the mold. Serve.

The coconut oil is that the white solid stuff in the jar, or something different?

Could I substitute something else for the agave nectar?

I buy agave nectar from my local health food store. Can be a bit expensive, but a little bit goes a long way.

Holy cow! These look so good! Mounds is one of my favorite candy bars. Looks like I need to get a candy mold and some dark chocolate for melting.

These tasted so good! I couldn’t bring myself to buy the expensive agave nectar, so I used honey instead, and they were great.
