Imitation Mounds Bars

Mounds bars are my favorite candy! So I was very excited to find this recipe for make-your-own here. I ended up making them twice because the can of sweetened condensed milk was enough for two batches. What I learned from the first time was that there really was not much point to putting the coconut and sweetened condensed mixture into the freezer and cutting it into bars. The picture below shows what happens when you do that - they fell apart and it was pretty tricky coating them with chocolate.


Instead, I suggest making that mixture, then squeezing scoops of it into balls with your hands, which worked well for me. They didn't fall apart in the chocolate that way.
