How to make Coconut Bounty Cookie Bars<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup sugar<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup melted butter<\/p>\n

1 can sweetened condensed milk (300ml in Canada, 14 oz in the US)<\/p>\n

2 cups unsweetened dried coconut (desiccated coconut)<\/p>\n

2 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

1 1\/4 cups chocolate chips<\/p>\n

3 tbsp butter or whipping cream<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h2>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<\/p>\n

Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Melt the 1\/2 cup of butter and mix together with the chocolate cookie crumbs and sugar.<\/p>\n

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n

Bake for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

While the bottom layer is baking, stir together the sweetened milk, coconut & vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the previously baked chocolate cookie crust layer.<\/p>\n

Coconut Bounty Cookie Bars, second bake.<\/h2>\n

Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn brown. Be careful not to over bake or the cookie bars will be too dry.<\/p>\n

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.<\/p>\n

When cool, melt together the chocolate chips and butter (or whipping cream).<\/p>\n

Spread evenly over the cooled coconut layer and let stand for an hour or so for the chocolate to set.<\/p>\n

Cut in squares and enjoy.<\/p>\n

These cookie bars are very freezer friendly for Holiday baking or just to keep on hand for a dessert or sweet treat at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
