Time 1h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup white sugar
2 cups flaked coconut
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) chocolate candy bar, chopped
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and pecans in another bowl until well mixed. Spread coconut mixture over the cracker crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Melt the chocolate bar and peanut butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, cooking and stirring until smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the cooled coconut bars. Cool until set, about 15 minutes. Cut into bars before serving.
