Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Coconut Bars.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and grease it lightly to prevent sticking. This will be the home for your delicious bars!
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until everything is well blended. Now, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish to create a solid crust. This will be the base of your bars, so make sure it's nice and even!
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together the flaked coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped pecans. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined. This mixture is going to add a delightful chewiness to your bars! Spread it evenly over the graham cracker crust, making sure to cover it completely.
Step 4
Pop the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the coconut mixture is set and slightly golden. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely for about an hour. Patience is key here!
Step 5
While your bars are cooling, it's time to prepare the chocolate topping. In a small saucepan, melt the chopped chocolate bar and creamy peanut butter over very low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy, which should take about 2 minutes. This chocolate layer is the cherry on top!
Step 6
Once the coconut bars have cooled, pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the top. Use a spatula to spread it out if needed. Let the bars cool again until the chocolate is set, which will take about 15 minutes. Then, slice them into bars and get ready to enjoy!
Step 7
These decadent chocolate coconut bars are perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet treat any time of the day. They’re sure to impress your friends and family!
