2
cups graham cracker crumbs
-
1 1/2
cups whole almonds, toasted*
-
1/3
cup packed brown sugar
-
2/3
cup butter, melted
-
1
14 ounce package flaked coconut
-
1
14 ounce can (1 1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
-
18
ounces dark chocolate pieces, melted**
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the almonds, and the brown sugar in a food processor. Cover and process until almonds are finely chopped. Add butter; cover and pulse with four or five on-off turns or until mixture is well combined. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes.
2. Combine coconut and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl. Spread mixture evenly over crust. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup almonds evenly over coconut layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. Spread melted chocolate evenly over top of baked mixture. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. (If desired, chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.) Cut into bars. Makes 36 bars.
- Note *To toast nuts, spread them in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until nuts are slightly golden brown, stirring once or twice.
- Note **To melt dark chocolate pieces, place chocolate pieces in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power (medium) about 3 minutes or until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring once or twice.
- Storage Place bars in a single layer in an airtight container; cover. Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

I made these cookies for a party- they were fantastic- just enough chocolate and coconut blend. I had a little trouble cutting them without breaking apart.
1/11/2012 05:49:37 PM Report AbuseMade a huge mess! Not only did the Graham layer not crust, so I had to put the coconut layer on with fork tines, the frosting too thick. Over $10.00 ingredients for nothing, and I successfully made eleven types of cookies for gifts. email me at mlow49@ntelos.net for refund or at least coupons for ingredients

Add melted butter and mix with fork.Press into pan and continue with recipe. This is very rich and delicious and super easy to make.
