Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup cold butter (cubed)
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch process preferred)

3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
3 large eggs (slightly beaten)
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
3 cups pecan halves and pieces (toasted)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the pecans on a rimmed pan for about 10 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
  • Line a 13- x 9-inch cake pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, allowing a couple of inches to extend over sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
  • Add flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to mix. Add cold, cubed butter to the bowl and pulse another 5 to 6 times until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour the crumbs into the pan and press to form a crust on the bottom and 3/4 inch up sides of the pan.
  • Bake crust for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over crust. Once the chocolate begins to soften (about 5 minutes) gently and evenly spread with an offset spatula to cover the crust. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
  • Whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, and melted butter. Add eggs and mix until smooth. Stir in coconut and toasted pecans. Pour mixture over the chocolate crust.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and set. Cool completely on a wire rack (1 hour). Refrigerate for 1 hour before removing from the pan.
  • Using the aluminum foil, lift the bars out of the pan onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into bars.
