When spring arrives, I begin to think about one thing in particular: Coconut. I don’t know why I associate coconut with springtime. Maybe it’s because it’s my husband’s favorite thing on earth and his birthday’s in the spring.
The other thing I have on my mind all 365 days of the year: Chocolate. And what’s better than putting those two together?
I love candy bars….but I can honestly say it’s been months and months since I’ve actually eaten the store-bought wrapped varieties. It’s not just about the fat and calories….it’s also about chemicals and shelf stabilizers. I just can’t help but to wonder what all is in that stuff.
Enter: Homemade Mounds Bars. I have this recipe in my Top Secret Recipes cookbook and I LOVE it. What’s better than an easy, cheap, tasty chocolate treat to add a little smile to your day?
Whet your appetite yet? If so, here’s the recipe.
It’s still a treat for us….I don’t make these every month or anything. When I do make candies like this, though, it stays just that….a special treat….and the kids never miss those prepackaged things on the store shelves.
Homemade candy bars work for me!!

Oh, that looks fabulous! Almond Joy (minus the almond) was always my favorite candy bar. I can no longer eat chocolate, but I’m thinking about maybe attempting this recipe with some other sort of meltable candy chip. Hopefully it would still be good.

I am seriously drooling. Mounds are one of my favorites. The recipe link doesn’t go right to the recipe, but I searched there and found it. Such a simple recipe – who knew? Thanks for linking it up!
