Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, stirring until the mixture becomes a consistent, slightly crumbly texture that holds together when pressed.
- Add shredded coconut and chopped nuts to the graham cracker base, mixing thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly throughout the mixture.
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
- Press the graham cracker, coconut, and nut mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even, compact base layer.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning, until smooth and completely liquid.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the graham cracker base, using a spatula to spread it to the edges and create a smooth top layer.
- Refrigerate the treats for approximately 1 hour or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the entire treat out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 12 equal squares, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Serve chilled and store any remaining treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your melted butter is at the right temperature—too hot can make the graham cracker base soggy, while too cool won't bind properly.
- For a smoother chocolate layer, use high-quality chocolate chips and melt them slowly, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Use parchment paper with extra overhang for easy removal and clean cutting of your treats.
- Chill the treats completely before cutting to get sharp, clean edges.
- Experiment with mix-ins like dried fruit, different nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt to customize your dessert.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
- For a more decadent version, try using dark, milk, or white chocolate as your topping for variety.
