Make sure that each cooled coconut bar is completely coated with the melted chocolate by dipping it into the chocolate with a fork. First, let any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated bar back on the baking sheet that has been prepared with parchment paper.

The process should be repeated for each individual coconut bar. In the event that the chocolate begins to become more solid, you may reheat it gently in a bain-marie or in the microwave.

After all of the bars have been coated, immediately place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator to let the chocolate to fully harden. In most cases, this takes between fifteen and twenty minutes.
