Categories     Bars/Brownies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
4 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
1 large egg
1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8x8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides and spray the paper or foil with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Add the butter, egg, vanilla, and coconut extract and mix with a handheld electric mixer (or use a stand mixer) until the mixture is combined. Gently press or spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • For the topping, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until light and smooth. Add the egg and mix well, then add the cocoa powder and vanilla and mix until well blended. Add the powdered sugar gradually while beating until the mixture is smooth. Fold in the coconut.
  • Dollop the topping evenly over the base and bake the bars for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are just set and the center is a little wobbly. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares. The bars taste wonderful chilled, by the way.

Bake Sale Chocolate-Coconut Bars image

Inspired by a much-loved chocolate-coconut candy bar, these are the perfect spur-of-the-moment treats for a bake sale. Premade sugar cookie dough does half the work for you, and the addition of cocoa powder makes these chocolate-y without being too sweet.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield Sixteen 2 1/16-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 13

Butter, for greasing pan
Topping:
1/3 cup coconut cream
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
One (4-ounce) bar bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
Base:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough
1/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
One (1-pound) package prepared sugar cookie dough

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9 by 23-inches. Butter the corners and sides of a 9 by 9-inch baking pan. Line the pan with the foil, leaving an overhang on two sides. Fold the overhanging foil to make them doubly thick. (This will make it easier to lift the bar out of the pan.)
  • For the topping: Whisk the coconut cream with the egg white and vanilla in a medium bowl. Toss the shredded coconut with the flour in another medium bowl. Stir the shredded coconut mixture into the coconut cream mixture. Set aside.
  • For the base: Whisk the flour with the cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl. Put the cookie dough on a clean work surface and dump the flour mixture on top. Knead the flour mixture and dough together until it is dark and homogenous. Sprinkle a little extra flour on the work surface, and use a rolling pin to gently press and roll the dough into a 7-or-8-inch square-don't worry if it cracks a bit. Put the dough in the prepared pan, using your fingers to press it evenly into the sides and corners.
  • Scatter the coconut topping evenly over the base, making sure you cover the edges well and being sure not to press down so that the coconut mixture lies on top of the dough. Scatter the chocolate on top and press it lightly into the coconut. Bake until the coconut is a toasted golden brown, the topping seems dry and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before gently lifting out of the pan by the overhanging foil, about 20 minutes. Slice into 16 square bars.

COCONUT GOOEY CHOCOLATE CRUNCH BARS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Coconut Gooey Chocolate Crunch Bars Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by CandyH

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 tablespoons (1 cup or 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon water
1 (13.5 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup or 1/2 a stick) salted butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, whatever you prefer)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish* with parchment paper allowing the side to hang over the dish. 2.In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Using a mixer beat the mixture until it is smooth, scraping down the sides a few times. Add the flour and water, beat until combined. 3.Press the dough into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven. The bars will seem buttery, this is fine. 4.Meanwhile, make the "caramel". Add the butter to a medium sauce pan. Cook butter over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and maple syrup. Cook the sauce over low heat for 8-10 minute, stirring often to prevent the caramel from burning and sticking to the pan*. Cook until it thickens slightly and turns light golden in color. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. 5.Once the cookie base is out of the oven, sprinkle the top of the cookies with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Next, sprinkle on the walnuts and 1 cup shredded coconut. Pour the "caramel" over top of everything in an even layer. If needed, use a spoon to gently spread the caramel into an even layer. Sprinkle the top with the remaining coconut. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is beginning to brown and caramelize. 6.Allow the bars to cool about 20 minutes and then slice and serve warm.
