Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • For the crust:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the caramel layer:
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies or homemade caramel
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup toasted shredded coconut

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your bars bake perfectly!
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and granulated sugar. Using a fork or pastry cutter, mix until the texture resembles crumbs. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 8x8-inch baking dish.
  3. Bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden. You want it to become slightly firm.
  4. Make the caramel layer: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth.
  5. Pour the melted caramel evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut over the caramel layer.
  6. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, allowing the coconut to toast slightly and the caramel to set.
  7. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars. Patience is key here—allowing them to cool will let them hold together better!
  8. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the bliss of your delicious Toasted Coconut Caramel Bars!
