Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shredded coconut. Fresh shredded coconut has a much better flavor and texture than dried coconut. If you can't find fresh shredded coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Toast the coconut. Toasting the coconut brings out its flavor and makes it more fragrant. You can toast the coconut in a toaster oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a variety of nuts. You can use any type of nuts you like in these bars. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews.
  • Add some dried fruit. Dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries, can add a nice sweetness and tartness to the bars.
  • Use a good quality chocolate. The chocolate is one of the main ingredients in these bars, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Chill the bars before cutting them. Chilling the bars makes them easier to cut and helps them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These coconut chip nut bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy snack, give these coconut chip nut bars a try!
