Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 (8 ounce) chocolate candy bar, chopped
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 0.25 cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, about 1 hour.

Step 4

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.
