Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a solid crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring full coverage.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk layer.
Next, sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly on top of the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Add a layer of sweetened shredded coconut over the chocolate chips, distributing evenly across the baking dish.
Sprinkle the roughly chopped dried cherries over the coconut layer.
Finally, evenly spread the crispy rice cereal on top of the cherries.
Press down gently with the back of a spatula or a piece of parchment paper to compact the layers slightly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the coconut on top begins to toast.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the dish on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 24 squares. Serve and enjoy!
