Gooey Goodness!

I like coconut, but I must admit that I don’t LOVE it. I love coconut flavor more than I love the texture. … Anyway, these yummy bars were AMAZING…and, even though the recipe called for TONS of coconut, it wasn’t overwhelmingly coconutty! It is a recipe I will make again and again and again…a great “take with you” dessert! Or a great “eat the whole pan by yourself” dessert! :) Thanks, Cara, for sharing this scrumptious treat! mid May 2011 007GOOEY COCONUT BARS

20 graham crackers {2 sleeves}
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 cans sweetened condensed milk

Crush graham crackers and mix with salt & melted butter. Grease a 9x13 baking pan and press the graham cracker mix evenly into the bottom of the pan.

Mix the coconut flakes & chocolate chips together and spread over the graham cracker crust.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut & chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

We call these Holly Dolly's at my house and they are my dad's favorite dessert. Yum, yum!
