Each layer offers a unique blend of flavors and textures, from the buttery graham cracker crust to the sweet coconut, luscious raspberry preserves, and rich chocolate drizzle. Perfect for holiday gatherings, these bars are as beautiful as they are delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 3 cups sweetened, flaked coconut

  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)

  • 1 cup seedless raspberry preserves (or your preferred flavor)

  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1/3 cup white baking chips

  • 1 tsp shortening

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).

  • In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

  1. Layer with Coconut and Milk:

  • Evenly sprinkle the flaked coconut over the crust. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the coconut layer, ensuring it’s evenly spread.

  1. Bake:

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the coconut layer turns golden brown. Let the crust cool completely.

  1. Add Raspberry and Pecans:

  • Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for a delightful crunch.

  1. Drizzle with Chocolate:

  • Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pecans.

  • In another bowl, melt the white baking chips with the shortening, stirring until smooth. Drizzle this over the chocolate layer for a festive touch.

  1. Set and Slice:

  • Allow the bars to firm up by setting them in the fridge or on the counter. Once firm, cut into 36 bars.
