Coconut creme kisses chocolate bars – just like a magic bar but with a stronger coconut flavor and chocolate added to the graham crust
Raise your hand if you have leftover Easter candy.
I should probably raise both my hands. I still have leftover Halloween and Christmas candy. For me candy it’s mostly considered an ingredient, not a snack per-se.
Of course I eat some now and then, but most of the time I use the candy in my baked treats, from cookies and bars to cakes and brownies. And in case you haven’t figured out yet, I LOVE Hershey’s seasonal kisses.
I stumbled upon the coconut creme kisses in the Easter isle a couple of weeks ago. Since coconut and chocolate is one of my top 5 combos I HAD to have some. The first time I bought some I was a little shy, got back home with just 2 bags. And yes, the week after that 10 more bags came home with me. That should last me for a while.
These coconut creme kisses are as good, or maybe even better than Almond Joy, one of my favorite candy bar.
These coconut creme kisses chocolate bars are for coconut lovers. They have a strong coconut flavor with a little bit of chocolate thrown in there to balance everything. And I don’t mean, just the chocolate in the kisses, no, I actually added some Easter Hershey’s eggs into the mix as well.
These are definitely not your everyday magic bars, even if the directions are similar.

Roxana, this sounds delish! I need to go on a search for these. I didn’t see them with all the other Easter chocolates. Is it just regular condensed milk or sweetened condensed milk you are using?
Thanks,
Linda
Hi Linda,
I’m pretty sure all condensed milk it’s sweet.

Roxana: These pictures are killing me…I looooove the combination of coconut and chocolate — which in Brazil we call prestigio. I hope you don’t mind that I am pinning your gorgeous first photo.
Roxana…do you need the walnuts for this recipe?? Unfortunately I can’t eat any thing that requires that much chewing (TMJ issues) would be able to handle the shredded coconut not any other nuts though..unless it’s peanut butter!! Thanks.
Hi Wendy,
You can finely chop the walnuts, they do soften a bit when baking. If you prefer nut free I’d use more coconut and maybe throw in some chocolate chips

I’ve never seen coconut creme kisses but now I want to try them… these bars look so good!
These sound delicious! My husband adores coconut, so I’m always on the look-out for awesome coconut recipes. I know he would love this one! 🙂
Soooooo yummy! Love love the coconutchocolatey goodness of these
I’m a fellow lover of coconut + chocolate, and I’m all over everything you have going on here, especially the graham cracker twist! I have WAY too much Easter candy, but will be increasing my supply so that I can stock up on these kisses.
Coconut creme kisses – what a beautiful name. I don’t have any sweets at home, I got here after 2 months away, but hey, a girl need something sweet from time to time, so I’ll get it 😉
first time to your site. totally loved it. coconut kisses look so perfect.
I thought they looked a little bit magical when I first saw the photos on Facebook or Twitter. Soooo good.
My hands are raised! These bars look decadent and delicious. Yum! I want to sink my teeth into one. Mmm.
I brought the left over Easter Candy to work, otherwise I would have eaten it all. I need to make these bar cookies – they look divine!!!
Roxana I really wish I was your taste tester, these bars look heavenly I love almond joy candy bars too! Making these soon!
Pinned! I love this! I am slowly becoming more and more of a fan of coconut and these look like a must-try.
Bars like this with condensed milk are just the best. I don’t make them nearly enough. And coconut and chocolate… I’m liking that combo lately! And these look awesome. 🙂
Love this recipe. Can chocolate chips be used instead of chocolate eggs?
Hi Bonnie,
yes you may use chocolate chips, or leave them completely out
