The combination of chocolate and coconut has long been a favorite indulgence. The mounds bar recipe is a hot cocoa cocktail that mimics one of the most famous candy bars to feature the duo and it does a fairly good job of it. Essentially, all you need to do to make a mounds bar is spike a cup of hot chocolate with coconut rum. Though that's simple enough, you can make it even better by exploring variations on the two ingredients. For instance, while malibu is a favorite coconut rum, you might want to try another brand, such as bacardi, captain morgan, or cruzan. Rumhaven makes one from real coconut water that's delicious, too. Once you've chosen the rum, it's time to decide which version of hot chocolate to make. A cocoa mix provides a quick option, but old-fashioned hot chocolate results in a richer chocolate base. No matter which you choose, have fun mixing up your mounds bar, then sit back and enjoy the sweet, luscious taste.
