Chocolate Coconut Bars

I had  little book entitled "Totally Chocolate Cookbook."  Flipped through it and found this amazing little recipe. It's basically a brownie bottom and a magic bar top. Brilliant. 

Without doubt, a new favorite. 

Here's the recipe, adapted.

 

Chocolate Coconut Bars

 

12 oz semi sweet or dark chocolate, chopped

6 T butter

1 cup sugar

1/3 c. water

4 eggs

1 1/2 c flour

 

1 1/2 c. coconut

2/3 c. nuts (pecans, almonds or walnuts)

1 c. chocolate chips

1 can sweetened condensed milk

 

1) Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Add sugar, water and eggs. Mix in flour.

2) Spread in a greased 13x9 pan.  Bake 350 for 15 min.

3) In meantime, mix coconut, nuts, choco chips and condensed milk. 

4) When 15 min. is up, spoon mixture over the brownies.

5) Bake until set (another 15-20 min.)

 

Enjoy!
