Chocolate Coconut Bars image

With a middle layer of coconut, these sweet chocolaty treats taste similar to a Mounds candy bar! If time is short, don't wait for the bars to cool-just lay on several thin milk chocolate bars right after you take the pan from the oven and spread them as they melt.

These bars are so moist and delicious, they taste like they came from a bakery. I love the combination of chocolate and coconut, and the bars are just the right sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

These bars are so easy to make, even my kids can help out. They're also a great way to get kids to eat more fruit. I like to add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover coconut flakes. They're also a great make-ahead dessert, so they're perfect for busy weeknights. I love to serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
