coconut graham bars

I made these little wonders for a thanksgiving gathering - they are very rich and doesn't take much to get the flavor and enjoy!


2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c of surgar
1/2 c. butter (melted)
2 c. flaked coconut
1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk

Topping
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar
6 TBSP heavy whipping cream
1/4 c. butter, cubed
3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips

Spray with Pam (or cooking spray) a 9x13 inch pan, bottoms and sides.

In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9x13" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

combine the coconut and milk; spread over warm crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream and butter.  Bring to a boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minutes. REmove from the heat; stir in chocolate chips until melted. Spread over coconut layer.  Chill before cutting.  (once it was cooled I placed in the refrigerator for a few hours - it sets up really nice to be able to cut and get out of the pan!

Enjoy, they are really yummy but very very sweet!
