Triple layer cookie bars

36 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Margarine or butter
1½ cup Graham cracker crumbs
1 each (7-ounce) package flaked coconut (2 2/3 cups)
1 each (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
(not evaporated milk)
1 each (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup Creamy peanut butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 deg.F (325 deg.F for glass dish).

In 13x9-inch baking pan, melt margarine in oven.

Sprinkle crumbs evenly over margarine.

Top evenly with coconut then sweetened condensed milk. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

In small saucepan, over low heat, melt chips with peanut butter. Spread evenly over hot coconut layer. Cool 30 minutes. Chill thoroughly. Cut into bars. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Makes 36 bars.

My notes: I heated the chocolate and peanut butter in the top of a double boiler over hot water. Worked great. They say 36 bars...

this stuff is very rich (to my taste). Also very addictive, but very rich. You could get away with cutting it into 1" square bars and most people would be happy.

Chocoholics would have to consume more... I have been playing with putting chocolate stuff in the freezer in order to mete it out over a long period, and so as to not give myself so many calories at once. These bars are not great from the freezer, but it is still better than having to eat the whole pan of them at once! Anyway, these would be great at one of your church things where you have to bring something.
