Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup chopped almonds
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup sweetened condensed coconut milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, chopped almonds, dark chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed coconut milk. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully combined into a cohesive mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a uniform thickness for even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top turns a golden brown color, indicating the bars are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into 9 bars. Enjoy your delicious chocolate coconut bars!
Notes
- Ensure to cool the bars completely before cutting to prevent them from crumbling.
- You can substitute nuts with other types like walnuts or cashews depending on preference.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- For a vegan version, verify the sweetened condensed coconut milk is vegan-friendly or make your own.
