- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until well combined and sticky.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing down firmly with a spatula to ensure it is compact.
- Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top. Add extra coconut flakes if desired.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift out using the parchment paper and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or bars.
Notes
- For cleaner cuts, ensure the bars are completely cooled before slicing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Pressing the mixture firmly into the pan is key to preventing the bars from crumbling.
