Ingredients

  • 6 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 14 ounces coconut shreds, sweetened
  • 3/4 cup whole almonds, unsalted (toasted, if desired)
  • 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Line an 8x8 straight edged pan with foil, overlapping the edges, and lightly spray with cooking spray.

  7. Place the dipped bars on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Dip all of the bars and then let them sit until the Chocolate firms and sets up. Store at room temperature or refrigerated.
