Mounds candy by Nette

Ingredients

◾2 14 ounce bags of coconut ◾1 can sweetened condensed milk ◾1/2 cup butter, softened ◾1 lb powdered sugar ◾3 cups of chocolate chips ◾2 teaspoons of butter

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup butter, and powdered sugar. Mix well.
Spread mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper ( I used my silicone baking mat on the ones in the picture). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of butter in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Spread over chilled coconut mixture and chill until chocolate is set.
(sorry I forgot to get pictures of the last two steps)
Flip bars over and carefully peel or parchment paper. Melt remaining chocolate and butter. Spread over the coconut layer. Chill.
After firm, bring to room temperature and then cut them. If the chocolate is solid these will be hard to cut. I bring them to room temperature to cut them, and then put them back in the refrigerator to store them.
