Chocolate Cocount Bars Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Tip the sugar, golden syrup, egg white, coconut cream and vanilla into a mixing bowl and mix with an electric whisk until well combined. Add the coconut and dried fruit and mix with a spatula until the ingredients are all evenly coated in the egg white mixture. Tip into the baking tin, press down with the back of a spoon to compress and make an even layer, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden brown and firm to the touch. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, or in short bursts in the microwave. Cut the coconut bake into 12 or 16 bars and remove the baking parchment. Turn the bars upside down and carefully spoon a little of the melted chocolate onto the base of each one, spreading with a knife to cover. Leave to set (pop in the fridge to speed it up if you like), then wrap the bars individually in baking parchment. Will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 13 x 9-in baking pan.
• FOR CRUST: Mix together, the crumbs, brown sugar and the melted butter.
• press gently into the bottom of prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 10-15 mins; remove from oven.
• FOR TOP LAYER: Combine the coconut and the milk.
• Gently spread over the crumb crust.
• Return to oven, and bake for another 15 mins.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with chocolate chips (any amount desired).
• Allow the chocolate to melt, then spread gently, evenly all over the bars.
• Cool, cut into bars.

Steps:

• Combine the crumbs, butter and sugar. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine coconut, milk and pecans; spread over the crust. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes; cool completely. In a small saucepan, melt candy bar and peanut butter over low heat; spread over bars. Cool until set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly splash a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet evenly with water, then line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together cookie crumbs, sugar, and butter until combined. Evenly press onto bottom and up sides of prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle cooled crust evenly with pecans and chocolate. Pour condensed milk over the top, spreading to cover completely (do not let it drip over the edges). Sprinkle with coconut.
• Bake until coconut is toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. Trim edges, if desired, and cut into equal-size bars.

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, beat eggs and add sugar. Blend in melted butter and vanilla.
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Blend into mixture.
• Pour one-half of batter into another bowl. In one batter add cocoa and the one tablespoon of melted butter. In the second batter add coconut.
• Pour the chocolate batter into a greased 8 x 8 baking pan. Spread the coconut batter on top.
• Bake in a 325 degree oven for 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool.
• Topping: Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 1 minute. Add melted butter and mix. Spread onto cooled bars. Let cool completely and cut into bars. Cut small--they are rich. (I have placed pan in fridg for 30 minutes to cool quickly.).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Coat 8x8" baking pan with nonstick vegetable oil spray; line with parchment, leaving overhang on all sides. Process 2 cups pitted Medjool dates, 3/4 cup raw cacao powder, 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup cacao nibs, 2 tablespoons agave syrup, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor until smooth (you may need to stop and scrape down sides a few times). Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Scatter 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut over top; press to adhere. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with non stick vegetable spray.
• Put the flour, sugar, and cocoa into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. With the machine on pulse, add the butter, bit by bit. Process until the dough is thoroughly blended and masses together.
• Between 2 sheets of waxed paper or parchment, roll the dough into a 9 by 13-inch rectangle. Peel off 1 sheet of the waxed paper and fit the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Peel off the other sheet. With a fork, prick little holes in the dough. Refrigerate while making the macaroon.
• Mix the 4 cups coconut, the egg whites, confectioners¿ sugar, and coconut cream together. Lightly press this macaroon mixture over the coconut crust. Bake until golden brown and just barely set, about 15 minutes. Set on a rack to cool. Cut into bars approximately 3 by 3-inch squares. Drizzle with melted chocolate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square baking pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips and coconut until well blended. Press dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9- by 23-inches. Butter the corners and sides of a 9- by 9-inch baking pan. Line the pan with the foil, leaving an overhang on two sides. Fold the overhanging foil to make them doubly thick. (This will make it easier to lift the bar out of the pan.)
• For the topping: Whisk the coconut cream with the egg white and vanilla in a medium bowl. Toss the shredded coconut with the flour in another medium bowl. Stir the shredded coconut mixture into the coconut cream mixture. Set aside.
• For the base: Whisk the flour with the cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl. Put the cookie dough on a clean work surface and dump the flour mixture on top. Knead the flour mixture and dough together until it is dark and homogenous. Sprinkle a little extra flour on the work surface, and use a rolling pin to gently press and roll the dough into a 7- or 8-inch square; don't worry if it cracks a bit. Put the dough in the prepared pan, using your fingers to press it evenly into the sides and corners.
• Scatter the coconut topping evenly over the base, making sure you cover the edges well and being sure not to press down so that the coconut mixture lies on top of the dough. Scatter the chocolate on top and press it lightly into the coconut. Bake until the coconut is a toasted golden brown, the topping seems dry and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before gently lifting out of the pan by the overhanging foil, about 20 minutes. Slice into 16 square bars.
