Sweet tooths make a beeline for my dessert tray whenever these rich squares show up. They're attractive on the platter and delectable with fudge and coconut. Ingredients:
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
1 cup butter |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
filling: |
3 cups flaked coconut |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
topping: |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Stir in the sugar, flour, salt, vanilla and eggs. Spread half of the batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Spoon over chocolate layer. Carefully spread remaining chocolate mixture over filling.
3. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until the sides pull away from the pan. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Allow chips to soften for a few minutes, then spread over bars. Sprinkle with walnuts. Cool completely before cutting. Yield: 3 dozen.
