Such a cute and delicious treat!
They are tasty! Enjoy!
I love these !! Can’t wait to make this for my family!!
Hope you and your family enjoy them!
made these coconut bites last night and they were a HIt! Delicious! Thank you for the recipe. Keeping this one!
So happy you enjoyed them!!!
What kind og powdered sugar can I use?…. Are you talikg about Stevia ?…. I’m learning how to cook :) Thanks
You could use Stevia. That should work fine. Thanks.
These sound so good, coconut with chocolate would be a great combination. I think that my mother bought something like this from the store for Christmas, but when I got there my sisters that still live with my parents ate them all. I don’t know if I would make them very well, but I’ll have to try!
Do these have to be kept in the refrigerator?
Yes, they should be kept in the refrigerator.
Can I use something instead of coconut oil? Something simple maybe? (not so expensive and available in every store)
Thank you!
Also if I want to use them as a gift for Christmas, how can I be sure they won’t melt under the Christmas tree?
I haven’t tried using anything other than coconut. But, I am sure you can. Also, I wouldn’t pull them out until right before gifting them.
My Mom loves coconut and chocolate at 86 made these for her I enjoy cooking for her dad has pasted and for years learning from them both I cook or bake anything she wants
Bo- You are a wonderful daughter. Baking can be so much fun!
I have everything to make these except the coconut milk. I’m guessing I could sub regular milk, especially if they stay in the fridge?
Mary, yes that should work just fine. Enjoy!
We LOVE mounds bars so I definitely HAVE to try these- thanks!
