Homemade Mounds Candy Bars are a healthy chocolate and coconut candy made with just 4 ingredients! To whip up a batch of your own all you need is dark chocolate, shredded coconut, coconut oil, and honey. We like serving homemade Mounds Candy Bars at our Halloween celebrations. They’re an amazing dessert for Valentine’s day and also a wonderful paleo treat for Purim.
With the blissful combination of chocolate and coconut, homemade Mounds Bars taste even better than the store-bought version! They’re far healthier too.

Those look so fantastic! Thinking I might add a little peppermint essential oil and vanilla bean to the centres of mine. This could be dangerous.

I just love these super simple “candy” recipes that you’ve been posting lately. The nut butter cups with the flaxseed meal were really clever and these look terrific! Nice work.
