Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 4 Milky Way bars (full size), chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped Milky Way bars, ensuring even distribution.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface.
In a small saucepan, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the layer of batter in the pan, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the chocolate layer.
Dollop the remaining batter over the top in spoonfuls, and gently spread it to cover the filling as best as you can. Some gaps are okay.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, and cut them into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy your rich, chocolatey, caramel-filled German Chocolate and Milky Way Bars!
