Surprise Coconut Bars


Ingredients: A small can of condensed milk 10 oz. shredded sweet coconut 5 oz. of walnuts (or any nut you may like) 5 oz. toffee bits (Heath bar brand) 1 bag of Wilton's milk chocolate melts 2 oz. bakers German chocolate Method: 1) In a small pan, toast a handful if the coconut. Be sure to stand by because this can burn quick and the smell isn't so pleasant when it's burnt =\ 2) Get a small pot and add 1/3 cup of water, bring to a boil and then turn off heat. To this add the bakers German chocolate and stir with a whisk to melt through. Bring to room temperature. Once at room temperature, put in zip lock bag; snip a tiny corner and decorate as you wish or like how I did. After all the steps below: 3) Get a glass bowl and pour the whole bag of chocolate melts and microwave for about a minute (:45-1:00) depending on your microwave. Then immediately start stirring the chocolate until smooth and melted through. 4) Open the can if condensed milk and add it to a big bowl over the rest if the shredded coconut. Stir together good. This will be very sticky so I suggest using a rubber spatula. 5) Now you will do your layers, add half of the sticky coconut and spread in a square dish about 8x8". Then add a layer of chocolate about 1/2 of the bowl. Then on top of that layer add half of the nuts and toffee. Just sprinkle them evenly on top. On top of this layer, add the other half of the sticky coconut. Then the other half of the chocolate and spread evenly. On top of this layer sprinkle the rest of the nuts and toffee and top it all off with the toasted coconut. Be sure the toasted coconut has cooled off before add it to the dish. Let that sit a bit in the refrigerator like 30 mins and then cut into squares with a sharp knife. I enjoy mine with a cup of hot coffee =)
