    Taste wise these were very good and would rate a 5, but I haad extreme difficulties dipping them. The squares tended to break apart. I set the squares on a fork to dip them. I then added some shotening to the morsels to thin the chocolate out. It didn't help. We finally made balls and dipped them. I ran out of chocolate using the perscribed 24 oz of moesels.

    Yep, these really DO taste like Mounds bars! They're delicious, and the recipe makes a pretty big batch (if you cut them small), so they're convenient for including in candy gift boxes for holidays and special occasions. I found this recipe difficult to make using plain chocolate chips. The chocolate didn't melt smoothly, and the coconut was difficult to dip. When I used candy quality chocolate instead (and melted it on a double broiler instead of in the microwave, which I originally tried) they turned out much better. Also, I found that the smaller you cut the squares, the easier they were to dip. I kept mine under 1 square inch.

    This recipe was simple and yummy. I made a few alterations though... I decided to do balls instead of bars and I coated half of them in chocolate. The rest I left just as coconut balls for people who don't care for chocolate. They were just as delicious.
