When my kids come home from trick-or-treating, they know the rule. Turn over all the Mounds bars to your mother.

The sweet chocolate coconut combo is a weakness of mine. I don’t actually eat all their Mounds, but I do indulge in one or two if they’re in the house.

Homemade Mounds Bars Recipe Tips

These homemade Mounds bars are a much healthier alternative. They don’t have all the questionable ingredients that are in the packaged version, and they taste so similar to the real thing. I love to eat one when the chocolate is still melty out of the oven. The topping hardens over time, so it has the solid texture of a candy bar.

Store these bars at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.

Here’s a short video showing the easy process behind these delicious bars:

• 1 cup gluten-free flour
• 2 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 12 oz chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.

Return the dish to the oven for a minute, until the chocolate chips melt. Then remove the dish from the oven and spread the chocolate evenly over the coconut base.
• Let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut it into 16 bars while it’s still warm (before the chocolate has a chance to solidify). After they’re cut, let the bars cool in the pan before removing them
