Amish Man Bars
Description
The bars are made by combining graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, toasted chopped pecans, shredded sweetened coconut, vanilla extract, and a can of sweetened condensed milk into a uniform mixture. This mixture is pressed into a parchment-lined and greased 8x8-inch pan to distribute evenly. Baking at 350°F until the bars are set and lightly golden on top ensures a chewy yet firm texture.
Once cooled completely, the bars are sliced into 16 squares and each piece is coated thickly with sifted confectioners sugar. This sugar coating adds a soft sweetness that complements the rich filling. The combination of textures includes crunchy pecan pieces and soft coconut shreds within a chewy base.
Amish Man Bars can be stored at room temperature for up to one week, making them convenient for making ahead or serving over several days as a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
for the bars
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pecan toasted, chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut sweetened shredded
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk can
for the coating
- 1 cup confectioners sugar sifted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray and line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper leaving long ends so you can lift the bars out after baking.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until everything is completely combined.
- Spread into your prepared pan, taking care to get the mixture evenly spread out. I like to use an offset spatula, which you can moisten if you like to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 30 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.
- Let the bars cool completely, then slice into 16 squares. Note: I like to trim the edges off first to make neater squares.
- Coat each bar thickly with the confectioner's sugar.
- The bars will keep for up to a week at room temperature.
