Cookie Crust:\"\"<\/a><\/b><\/u>
\n1\/2 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
\n3\/4 c. light brown sugar, packed
\n1 tsp. vanilla
\n1 egg
\n1 c. all-purpose flour
\n1 c. chocolate graham cracker crumbs (not quite 9 full-sheet crackers)<\/i>
\n1\/2 tsp. baking powder
\n1\/4 tsp. salt
\n1\/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/p>\n

Layers:<\/b><\/u>
\n3\/4 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
\n1 3\/4 c. shredded sweetened\u00a0coconut
\n1\/2 c. sliced almonds
\nabout 12 oz. sweetened condensed milk (not quite one can)<\/i><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.\u00a0 Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal and spray with cooking spray; set aside.\u00a0 For the Crust:<\/u> In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar, using a hand mixer, until smooth and creamy.\u00a0 Add the vanilla and egg and mix until combined.\u00a0 Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt and mix until fully combined.\u00a0 Stir in the chocolate chips.\u00a0 Press graham cracker dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.\u00a0 Bake for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove from oven and sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips (reserving a small amount)<\/i>, coconut and sliced almonds.\u00a0 Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top and sprinkle with reserved mini chocolate chips.\u00a0 Remember the pan is hot and return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until set (I baked mine for about 26 minutes)<\/i>.\u00a0 Loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil halfway through baking time to prevent the coconut and almonds from browning and rotate the pan in the oven.<\/p>\n

Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes and then stick in the refrigerator to cool all the way through (the bottom of the pan will be cold)<\/i>. \u00a0 Cut into 9-12 squares.\u00a0 DO NOT cut the bars while they are still warm or the gooey filling will run all over the place.<\/p>\n

Jenn’s Notes:<\/b><\/u> I cut mine into 9 bars, but since they are pretty rich, I think 12 bars would be perfect.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
