Choco-coconut Bars

Choco-coconut Bars

Ingredients:
milk, canned, condensed, sweetened
vanilla extract
sugars, granulated
shortening confectionery, coconut (hydrogenated) and or palm kernel (hydrogenated)
spartan, real semi-sweet chocolate baking chips,

Directions:
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!
