Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time1 hour 45 minutes
Servings: 24 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk 1 can
  • 2 cups flaked coconut
  • 1 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • In a bowl, combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 4 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9×13-inch pan to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
  • While the crust bakes, stir together one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups flaked coconut in a bowl until combined.
  • Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the hot crust, return the pan to the oven, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the coconut layer is lightly browned.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle 1 3/4 cups melted semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the coconut layer.
  • Allow the bars to cool until the chocolate hardens, about 1 hour, then cut into 24 squares.

Notes

  • Press the crust firmly for a compact base.
  • Use flaked coconut for best texture.
  • Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning.
  • Let bars cool completely so chocolate sets cleanly.
