Description

Every bite of these Chocolate Coconut Nutty Bars delivers the perfect combination of flavors and textures. A buttery graham cracker crust is layered with creamy sweetened condensed non-dairy milk, flaked coconut, crunchy walnuts, and semi-sweet chocolate chips, then baked until beautifully golden and deliciously gooey.  

After a good chill, the bars slice into rich, decadent squares with a soft, chewy center and just the right amount of crunch. They’re a wonderful choice for holiday cookie trays, potlucks, or anytime you’re craving a homemade dessert that’s sure to disappear quickly.
