Mound Bars

Ingredients

• 3 cups finely chopped pecans (or almonds)
• 1 lb. sweetened coconut
• 1 lb. powdered sugar
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• Dark chocolate chips, about 12 oz.

Directions

1. Mix everything in a big bowl.
2. Form into 4 logs. Wrap the coconut logs in wax paper and freeze for 30 minutes to an hour.
3. These actually last in the freezer for a long time if you happen to only make 3 logs worth of Mounds Bars and forget about the 4th one for about 6 months and then open the freezer to a nice surprise.
4. Melt dark chocolate. Cut coconut logs into chunks, not to thin. They are pretty easy to cut with a big knife. Dip the coconut chunks into the chocolate until coated, place on wax or parchment paper.
5. Use plastic dipping tools or a couple of forks work just fine. Cool completely before eating.
