Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Sweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup Dried mango, chopped
- 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cup Macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.
Evenly sprinkle the coconut flakes over the crust, followed by the chopped dried mango.
Layer the drained crushed pineapple on top of the mango, spreading it out evenly.
Scatter the chopped macadamia nuts over the pineapple layer.
Spread the white chocolate chips over the top of the nuts, ensuring an even distribution.
Carefully pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire surface, ensuring all layers are thoroughly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. For best results, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set the layers.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or rectangles, as desired.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top of the bars before serving for a slight contrast to the sweetness.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
