Coconut Chocolate Bars
We love a quick no bake dessert and these coconut chocolate bars don't disappoint. You'll start with a quick fudgy chocolate mixture and then quickly stir in oats and coconut. These bars do need a few hours in the fridge to set, but with just 10 minutes of hands on time they couldn't be easier!

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line an 8” x 8” cake pan with parchment paper then lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, bring butter, granulated sugar and milk to a light boil and let boil for 1 minute (no longer). Stir this constantly so it doesn’t burn or boil over. Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla extract until chocolate chips have fully melted.
- Stir in oats and coconut until well combined.
- Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
- Cover the cake pan with plastic wrap and let set in fridge for at least 4 hours before slicing.
- Cut into 16 squares for serving.

Notes
- These bars should be stored in a sealed food-safe container in the fridge. They’ll last in the fridge 4-5 days. They can also be frozen up to 2 months. If freezing, separate layers of bars with wax paper so they don’t all stick together.
- Quick rolled oats should be used for this recipe. Instant oats, steel cut oats, and rolled oats won’t be the right texture for these bars.
