Triple Layer Bars

Since my family likes chocolate, coconut and peanut butter, these bars are always a hit.

I don’t know that any of them would say that they like those three things together, but somehow these bars are a great blend of the flavors.  Here’s the recipe:

Triple Layer Bars

Crust:
1 1/4 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter
2 eggs

First topping:
7 ounces flaked coconut
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Second topping:
2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

First, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.  Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly.

Add eggs and mix well.

Spread into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.

Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.  Remove from oven.

Sprinkle coconut over the crust.

Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the coconut.

Return to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter.

Stir until smooth and spread over bars.

Let cool on a wire rack.  Cut and serve.

YUM!

Have a great day!
