Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the flour to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth it out.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the remaining layers.
Evenly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the baked crust.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Fold the shredded coconut into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Pour the coconut mixture over the chocolate layer and gently spread it out with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top layer.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy your rich, gooey, and indulgent Park Avenue Bars!
