Time 1h

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups finely ground cookies (12 ounces), such as graham crackers or chocolate wafers, or a combination
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup pecan pieces
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly splash a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet evenly with water, then line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together cookie crumbs, sugar, and butter until combined. Evenly press onto bottom and up sides of prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cooled crust evenly with pecans and chocolate. Pour condensed milk over the top, spreading to cover completely (do not let it drip over the edges). Sprinkle with coconut.
  • Bake until coconut is toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. Trim edges, if desired, and cut into equal-size bars.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE BARS



Coconut Chocolate Bars image

GREAT COMBINATON! My friends nicknamed these cookies "black-white" bars. These bars help with the chocolate and coconut cravings at the same time! They sell well at Bake Sales! Careful not to overbake. They store well in an air-tight container and flavor enhances with age.

Yield 36 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups unsifted flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Cut in the butter until crumbly.

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, milk, coconut and pecans.
  • Pour over the crust.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until set in center.
  • Cool and cut into bars.
  • In top of a double boiler over boiling water, melt the chocolate chips and melted butter until smooth, drizzle over the cut bars.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a more intense coconut flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
