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!)

Brown sugar coconut chocolate bars
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:30 minutes
Total Time:40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

*This recipe could yield 18 bars if made in a larger pan! The smaller the pan, the bars result thicker than expected, allowing you to layer the chocolate and coconut, creating a chewy and rich bar!

  4. 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.
