Description
Indulge in these rich chocolate coconut bars, featuring a crispy edge and a chewy, coconut-studded interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to create a glossy batter.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Gradually fold in the flour until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. Enjoy!
Notes
For cleaner slices, chill the pan for 30–60 minutes before cutting. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep bars tender. Check doneness at 25 minutes; ovens vary.
