Yield 60 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg (12 oz) semisweet morsels
1 tsp salt
2 T sweet butter (unsalted)
2 sticks sweet butter
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 box (1 lb) brown sugar
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 C all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
½ C (packed) flaked sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • 1. In top of double boiler, melt chocolate morsels with condensed milk and the 2 T butter over simmering water. Blend until smooth and set aside. 2. Meanwhile, melt 2 sticks butter in large saucepan. Add the box of brown sugar and mix; add eggs; mix well. 3. In large bowl: flour, salt. Mix. Add mixture from saucepan. Mix well. Stir in pecans, coconut, vanilla, and mix well. 4. Spread half of mixture in bottom of ungreased jelly roll pan (10 ½ x 15"). 5. Spread chocolate mixture over dough. 6. Dot top of chocolate mixture with clumps of remaining dough and then spread to connect as if buttering bread but gently so as not to disturb layer beneath. There will be gaps with chocolate showing through but the dough will spread as it bakes. 7. Bake at 350˚ for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Note: The easiest way to cut these is to let cool and then cut into four large slabs. Put each slab on a big cutting board, one slab at a time, and with a long, wide knife, cut into bars. Don't do this after they're frozen - it's impossible. But do freeze them; the consensus is they're very fine frozen too!
