Decadent Fantasio Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Fantasio Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This will set the stage for your delicious bars. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then take it off the heat and stir in the sugar and graham cracker crumbs until well combined. This mixture will form the base of your bars, so spread it evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until it’s slightly firm and golden.

2. Step 2

   While the crust is baking, grab a bowl and mix together the flaked coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Once your crust is ready, spread this delightful coconut mixture over it and return the dish to the oven for another 12 minutes. The aroma will be heavenly! After baking, let it cool for at least 10 minutes to set.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s make the chocolate topping! Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn’t scorch. Once melted, fold in the chopped almonds for that extra crunch. Spread this luscious chocolate mixture evenly over the cooled coconut layer. Allow it to cool completely until the chocolate sets, and then you’re ready to indulge!
