  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • For the Coconut Layer:
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 1/2 cups flaked coconut
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then keep the oven on.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with flaked coconut until fully combined.
  5. Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the hot crust and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. While the bars bake, melt the chocolate chips either over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst.
  7. Once the coconut layer finishes baking, immediately spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top.
  8. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour until the chocolate sets.
  9. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For a sweet-salty twist, add a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor or add chopped almonds for a variation like Almond Joy bars.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the bars before serving; for a softer bite, let them sit at room temperature.
