Coconut Bars - Easter Edition

Crust Ingredients

2 packages (2 1/4 cups) graham crackers crushed

1/2 cup flour

1 tsp salt

2 sticks Unsalted Butter melted

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

Topping

3 cups sweetened shredded coconut

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk

Green food coloring

Directions

  1. Crush your graham crackers or pulse them in a food processor. Combine the crushed graham cracker crumbs with all the other crust ingredients in a bowl until well combined.

  2. Spread the graham mixture evenly in a thin layer on a lined 11x16 baking sheet, pressing down with your hands. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 °F.

  3. Remove crust from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

  4. Add green food coloring to coconut shreds and use a fork to toss the coconut so your fingers don’t get green. Sprinkle coconut all over chocolate chips.

  5. Pour sweetened condensed milk over coconut. Do not mix with a spatula.

  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
