Brown sugar coconut chocolate bars are rich, sweet, gooey goodness from top to bottom. Perfect for dessert or a sweet treat any time.
As a baker, you can lure friends with treats. You can bake and have someone fall in love with the smell drifting from the oven. Better yet, you can barter with your treats! On Martha’s Vineyard, we’ve formed communities. Online Facebook communities to help summer people get housing, groups for selling and buying, groups for sharing daily photos of the Vineyard. How does this come into play with these delicious bars? Let’s just say I bought a chair and bartered to have it delivered in exchange of these treats (and some extra marshmallows!)
These brown sugar coconut chocolate bars are from Easy Does It: Winners & Favorites by Patti Roper. It’s a cookbook filled with traditional Southern recipes like Pimento Cheese, Creole Catfish, Peach Muffins, and these Brown sugar bars. Simple ingredients that should always be in your baking cabinet, make these treats a delight to share with friends!
Here’s the recipe for the brown sugar coconut chocolate bars.
If you make them, please come back to leave a comment. I’d love to hear what you think of the recipe!
- ⅔ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips and coconut. (These were mixed by hand with a dough whisk!)
- Press half the dough into greased, and foil covered pan (this one is 8 by 8 inches).
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips. Roll the other half of the dough to fit on top and press down.
- Sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- Bake 30 minutes, until coconut is toasted and bar is fully baked. Cool for an hour or overnight for clean cuts.
Loving this combination! Thanks.
These look insanely good. I am pinning them to my must make soon board!
Hello
Thanks for the Brown Sugar, Coconut & Chocolate Bars recipe.
I’ll create one for sure, my kids are gonna like it
If you don’t mind, can I submit your Brown Sugar, Coconut & Chocolate Bars photo in http://www.foodporn.net ?
It’s a food photography site full of all DIY food pictures from members around the world. Or perhaps you’d like to submit by yourself? Let me know when you did, so I can share it.
These have 2 of my favorites, coconut and dark chocolate. I would add almonds or walnuts if I am being good. Or, I would add marshmallows if I am being bad. 😉 I can’t wait to bake these (modified to be gluten-free of course). Thank you for sharing this scrumptious recipe with all of us.

I freaking love this recipe!!!! I know I will be making it soon, OH MY WORD:-) Hugs, Terra
YUM. I would love to eat anything you baked but these sound especially yummy.
Look amazing better than magic bars from the 80s
Oh my sweet freaking god! This looks absolutely sooooooooooo good! I’m going to make this right away! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Lovvvvvveeeee this!
Yummmm; not even out of bed yet and wish these were waiting for me downstairs. Just a great combination of ingredients.
So, if I had my perfect three. Well…brown sugar, booze and bacon?
I so love the notion of bartering; there is a swap group in Denver…you go taking your goods and barter with other vendors for theirs. I took wood butter and got cookies, biscotti, lavender bitters, granola and more. It is fun!
and i think bartering is so neat. that’s like what they did back in the colonial days in america!!!
my dream bar would be banana, chocolate, and peanut butter together. hehehe. i’ve never made a layered bar before! okay, press cookie dough in, layer with chocolate, and then layer with more cookie dough. got it!
oh baby, you made these just for me, didn’t you? You knew I was craving chocolate and coconut? LOL it wasn’t me – it was the mister. I’ll make these this afternoon and tell him they were from you.
those look so good. i want some NOW. would unsweetened coconut and regular size chocolate chips work? that is what is currently in my cabinets …
Yes, those would work as well!
Oh yum! I saw the name of the recipe on Twitter and knew I had to check this out. I can imagine you could get a lot done with these treats as payment!
I have died and gone to snack heaven. I have all the ingridients! Yummy here I come!
Somehow, somehow horrible, I’m out of brown sugar, coconut and chocolate! Ah! I will have to get some next time I go to the store.
Those look so rich! I think I could eat the whole pan by myself!
these sound awesome + look absolutely delicious – yum!
Need. These. Now.
Yum!
Oh my goodness do those bars look good! These would, without a doubt, be my dream bar. No contest here!
I’ll take one with my coffee!
