minutesIngredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 cup shredded coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust layer, and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Spread the coconut mixture over the crust in the baking dish, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over the top of the coconut layer to ensure even distribution during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the middle is set.
- Allow the bars to cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
