Description
Missing Link Bigfoot Bars are a fun and creative chocolate dessert featuring a hidden salty surprise of pretzels. Combined with sweet milk chocolate, crunchy almonds, and toasted coconut, these bars are perfect for family movie nights or Halloween parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened coconut
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 30 whole almonds
- 12 pretzels (regular, to look like links)
Instructions
- Toast the Coconut:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Spread the sweetened coconut on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Toast in the oven for about 1 minute, flipping and moving the coconut for an even golden color. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Template:
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the almonds in a row to resemble the toes of a foot.
- Draw a foot shape around the almonds, then remove the almonds and set them aside.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Place the milk chocolate chips in a disposable piping bag (or a resealable storage bag).
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, flipping and squishing the bag between intervals to melt the chocolate evenly.
- Once melted, snip off the tip of the piping bag.
- Shape the Feet:
- Pipe chocolate around the drawn foot template and fill in the center.
- Press two pretzels into the middle of the chocolate, leaving space at the top for the almonds.
- Add the Toes and Hair:
- Cover the pretzels with more chocolate and slide the reserved almonds into the chocolate at the top to resemble toes.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut onto the bottom of the foot to resemble hair, leaving the toe area clear.
- Set the Bars:
- Refrigerate the bars until the chocolate has fully set.
Notes
- Storage: Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Reheating: These bars do not need reheating. Enjoy them cold or at room temperature.
