- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper so that the paper extends up the sides of the pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of brown sugar and stir to mix well.
- Melt 1 cup of butter in the microwave. Stir the melted butter into the flour mixture until well combined.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 F degrees.
- To make the filling, in a large bowl whisk together ½ cup of flour, ¼ cup of brown sugar, 3 eggs, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
- Melt ¼ cup of butter in the microwave and then stir into the filling mixture.
- Add the 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 3 cups of the shredded coconut to the filling mixture and stir well.
- Pour the filling mixture over the baked crust. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of coconut.
- Bake the coconut bars at 325 F for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Cool the bars in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan by lifting the sides of the parchment paper and moving the bars to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely to room temperature, then cut into bars and serve.
