9 steps

What you need

  • 115 g (1 stick) butter, unsalted, melted
  • 150 g (1 1/2 cups) graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
  • 170 g (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 130 g (1 1/3 cups) sweetened shredded coconut

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F).

  2. 2

    Cover the base and long sides of a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 in) baking pan with parchment, letting the paper hang over the rim so the bars can be lifted out later.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, stir the melted butter with the crumbs and salt until the mixture looks like wet sand.

  4. 4

    Press the crumbs into an even layer across the bottom of the pan, using the flat base of a glass.

  5. 5

    Scatter the chocolate chips over the crust, then the coconut, then the pecans. Press down lightly with your palm.

  6. 6

    Pour the condensed milk slowly over the whole surface, aiming to cover the edges and corners too.

  7. 7

    Bake for 25-30 min, until the coconut at the edges is golden brown and the milk is bubbling at the sides.

  8. 8

    Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 90 min, until fully set. Cutting early gives crumbling, sticky bars.

  9. 9

    Lift out by the paper and cut into 24 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
