Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients (graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut) and mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed coconut layer and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.
Optional: Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the chocolate layer for added flavor contrast.
Refrigerate the bars for 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the bars are firm.
Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 bars or squares.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
