3. **Chill the Bars:**
– Put the shaped coconut bars in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm up.

4. **Melt the Chocolate:**
– In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

5. **Coat the Bars:**
– Dip each chilled coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the bar out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
– Place the chocolate-covered bars back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. **Chill Again:**
– Put the coated bars back in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

7. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Once the chocolate is firm, your homemade chocolate-covered coconut bars are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
