Do I need a mold to make Copycat Mounds Bars?
You don’t! There’s no need to buy a mold in order to make Copycat Mounds Bars. Will they make it easier? Sure. Are they required? Not at all.
How do I keep my hands from getting all sticky while forming the bars?
Make sure to squeeze the paste to form the bars tightly so they won’t lose their shape. Every few bars, wash your hands but don’t completely dry them. This way the paste won’t stick to your hands.
What if I Don’t Want to Form Individual Bars?
To avoid some of the mess of making individual bars by hand (if you don’t use a mold), you can freeze the coconut mixture pressed in an 8×8 pan. After 15 minutes or after it’s slightly hardened, cut it into small bars. Be sure to line the pan with parchment paper or foil and spray it with nonstick spray so the coconut mixture doesn’t stick.
