Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

These chocolate coconut dessert bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
