Description

Three layers of dessert bliss.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 14 ounces, fluid Sweetened, Condensed Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Softened Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Light Corn Syrup
  • 12 ounces, weight Chocolate Chips

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a 9×13 pan. Set aside.

2. Place the coconut, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Melt the stick of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. When melted, pour the butter over the dry mixture and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Stirring with a rubber spatula helps spread the butter into the dry ingredients. Press the mixture into the 9×13 pan and bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and lightly set. Let crust cool completely.

3. In a saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk, butter (2 tablespoons) and light corn syrup for about 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Liquid should turn a deep beige color. Pour and spread sauce over the cooled crust and bake for 12-14 minutes. The sauce will be a light golden brown color and there will be bubbles when you remove it from the oven. Cool completely or until sauce has set up enough so that you can frost the top.

4. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the bars and spread evenly.

Notes: Refrigerate for a period of time (I did mine overnight) to help the frosting set. Then store at room temperature for easiest cutting and serving.

Can we think of something to use instead of the coconut–I just have too many people who won’t eat it but the recipe sounds super?

These bars are super easy to make, and I will definitely be making them again. My only comment is that I wish i had doubled the recipe for the middle “dulce de leche” layer. My bars came out much thinner than I was expecting, and I think it is because I could barely get the dulce de leche to spread over the entire surface of the crust. Otherwise, this recipe is a winner!

These bars are absolutely amazing, addicting and were a huge hit at Bunko last Friday. I was lucky to take home a couple for later because they were pretty much gone. Everyone loved them. It’s almost like eating a Twix bar but ten times better, and I can’t wait to make them again.
