Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
Topping Ingredients
- 3/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and brown sugar until the mixture is crumbly and can be pressed evenly into the bottom of a greased 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Bake the crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until it’s lightly golden and set.
- Add caramel and coconut topping: Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the caramel sauce over the warm crust. Then sprinkle the shredded coconut on top, distributing it evenly.
- Bake again until golden: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the coconut turns golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
- Use good quality caramel sauce or homemade for best flavor.
- To prevent the edges from burning, check the bars closely during the final bake.
- For a nutty twist, consider sprinkling chopped pecans or walnuts on top with the coconut.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
