Servings: 24 bars
Equipment
- 9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Simple Mills Sweet Thins 2 full boxes - I pulse them in a food processor until they resemble sand
- ½ cup butter melted, use vegan butter for dairy free
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk use 1.5 (11.25 oz) cans sweetened condensed coconut milk for dairy free
- 9 oz dark chocolate chips I used one bag Enjoy life brand
- 1 ⅓ cups unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking oil.
- Mix the crushed sweet thins and butter together in a bowl until it looks like wet sand.
- Transfer the mixture to the bottom of the prepared baking dish and press down using your hands or the bottom of a flat cup until it forms an even, flat layer.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts on top evenly. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over top and spread out using a spatula. Push down slightly so the condensed milk is covering everything.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the coconut is browned and the bars are set. Cool COMPLETELY for a couple of hours, then cut into 24 squares. Feel free to add extra chocolate chips on top as it cools.
