- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped cherries (fresh or maraschino)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Additional chocolate for drizzling (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Evenly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly over the crust, creating a delicious layer.
- Scatter semi-sweet chocolate chips over the coconut layer for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Distribute the chopped cherries evenly on top of the chocolate chips.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the condensed milk mixture evenly over the layers in the baking pan, ensuring all components are covered.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes. This helps the bars set properly.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or bars for serving.
- If desired, melt additional chocolate and drizzle over the top for an extra touch.
Notes
- Let the bars cool completely for better cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
