- Pour melted chips on top of baked coconut/graham cracker mixture; dust top lightly with finely ground graham cracker crumbs.

MOUNDS BARS
These taste just like the candy bar! I sometimes add almonds to make it like an Almond Joy. Very Yummy! I don't know exactly how many servings this makes, it depends on the size you would like.

- Spread the melted chocolate chips over the top. Let cool and cut into squares.
- I usually sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and put back into the warm oven for a minute or so and then spread it over the bars with a butter knife.
- Sometimes when you cut the bars after the chocolate hardens,the squares don't come out very uniform. Try taking a butter knife while the chocolate is still warm and run it over the bars in the sizes you want, so that when the chocolate does harden the pieces come out better.

Steps:
- Blend the condensed milk and the vanilla together in a bowl. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, blending each time until smooth. Stir in the coconut. You should have a firm mixture. Pat the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and chill until firm.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high 1 minute at a time, stirring after each minute, until melted. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and cut the coconut mixture into 1 x 2 inch bars.
- Set each bar on a fork and dip into the chocolate, completely coating the bar. Let excess drip off, then set on waxed paper. Repeat for each bar. Bars will take several hours to air-dry; if you are in a hurry you can refrigerate the bars for about 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use softened butter: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and eggs, resulting in a smooth and fluffy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the dough firmly into the pan: This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling when cut.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Susie's Mounds Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can have these bars ready to enjoy in no time. So next time you are looking for a sweet snack, give Susie's Mounds Bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
