Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups Graham crackers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted

Layers

  • 1 1/2 cups Sweetened coconut flakes, shredded
  • 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/4 cups Chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bars.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Crust Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir well until all crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  4. Form Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a solid base layer.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Evenly spread the chocolate chips over the graham cracker crust layer.
  6. Layer Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly on top of the chocolate chips layer.
  7. Layer Coconut: Distribute the shredded coconut flakes evenly over the pecans.
  8. Pour Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring complete coverage.
  9. Bake the Bars: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the coconut on top turns a light golden brown.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely before slicing into 20 bars for serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the coconut turns golden brown for the perfect texture and flavor.
  • Press the crust firmly for a sturdy base that holds together well.
  • Use parchment paper for easier removal from the pan.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
