Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ double chocolate chunk cookie mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
1/2 cup whipping cream

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really liked these bars. They were sweet and chewy, and the coconut flavor wasn't too overpowering.

These bars were a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These bars were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used dark chocolate chips and they were perfect. The bars were a little crumbly, but that didn't affect the taste.
