Frosted Graham Cracker Bars Recipe image

A super easy dessert with the delicious taste of graham crackers, butter, coconut and walnuts. Top it off with a buttercream frosting. Your family will thank you for these babies!!

Provided by Momma Cyd

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

14.4 ounces graham crackers (1 box, divided)
1 cup butter (melted)
1 cup sugar
½ cup milk
1 egg (beaten)
1½ cups sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (we used walnuts)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs ( (from the box listed above))
½ cup butter (room temperature)
2 Tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
1¾ cups powdered sugar (more or less if needed)
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅛ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with whole graham crackers. Break some apart so that the whole bottom of the pan is covered. You can piece them in along the edges.(about 8 whole graham crackers)
  • In a medium sized pan combine butter, sugar, milk, and beaten egg. Cook stirring constantly until it boils. Remove from heat and add coconut, chopped nuts and graham cracker crumbs.
  • Spread over crackers in the pan and then immediately place more whole graham crackers on top covering the coconut mixture.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Make the frosting by combining the butter, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond. Mix until well blended. If it's too runny add a little more powdered sugar.
  • Spread over the top graham cracker layer.
  • Refrigerate for about 20 - 24 hours. This will soften up the graham crackers. Then cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits: This will give your bars a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, and peaches.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them stay together.

Conclusion:

Graham and fruit bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a variety of recipes to choose from, you can find the perfect bar for your taste. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give graham and fruit bars a try!
