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 for the best flavor. You can find unsweetened shredded coconut in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
- If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own. Simply crush graham crackers in a food processor or blender until they are fine crumbs.
- Be sure to press the graham cracker crust firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent it from crumbling when you cut the bars.
- Don't overcook the coconut filling. It should be just set, but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Coconut graham cracker squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be ready in under an hour. These bars are also a great way to use up leftover graham crackers. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try!
