Ingredients
- 4 cups of luscious coconut flakes
- A can of sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounces in size
- ¾ cup versatile all-purpose flour
- ½ cup golden corn syrup
- ⅓ cup richly packed brown sugar
- Softened butter, a quarter cup
- 2 teaspoons of fragrant vanilla extract
- A hint of salt, just a quarter teaspoon
- For the frosting:
- 1 cup of decadent milk chocolate chips
- A few tablespoons of milk, adjust to consistency
- ½ cup of delicate confectioners' sugar
- Velvety butter, 2 tablespoons
- A touch of vanilla extract, a teaspoon
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and don't forget to prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by giving it a light greasing.
Step 2
Next, take your time to lovingly spread a generous layer of coconut flakes onto a baking sheet, allowing them to bask in the warmth of the oven. Remember to stir them every few minutes to achieve a perfectly toasted crunch, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the coconut is transforming into a golden delight, gather your ingredients for the luscious coconut bars. Combine sweetened condensed milk, flour, corn syrup, brown sugar, a touch of butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Fold in the toasted coconut and pour this heavenly mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Step 4
As the bars bake in the oven, filling your kitchen with delightful aromas, prepare the decadent chocolate frosting. Slowly melt chocolate chips and milk in a double boiler, ensuring to stir gently to maintain a velvety consistency. Add confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla extract, blending until the frosting is gloriously smooth.
Step 5
Once the bars are cooked to a perfection and slightly golden, allow them to cool before generously spreading the luxurious chocolate frosting over the top. For the final touch, place the bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the frosting before slicing into delectable squares. Enjoy every bite of these scrumptious coconut bars!
