Chocolate Coconut Bars

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 3 dozen.
With a middle layer of coconut, these sweet chocolaty treats taste similar to a Mounds candy bar! If time is short, don't wait for the chocolate coconut bars to cool—just lay on several thin milk chocolate bars right after you take the pan from the oven and spread them as they melt.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 milk chocolate candy bar (7 ounces), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 10 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine coconut, milk and pecans; spread over warm crust. Bake 15 minutes; cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • 3. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and peanut butter together over low heat; spread over bars. Let stand until set.
