Cómo preparar Chocolate Macaroon Bars
- **Prepare the Base:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- **Melt Chocolate:** In a large saucepan over low heat, melt together the chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- **Add Dry Ingredients:** Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Layer the Batter:** Spread half of the chocolate batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- **Make the Filling:** In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract.
- **Layer the Filling:** Spread the coconut filling evenly over the chocolate batter in the pan.
- **Top with Remaining Batter:** Carefully spread the remaining chocolate batter over the coconut filling.
- **Bake:** Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- **Add Chocolate Chips:** Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- **Soften & Spread:** Let stand for about 1 minute to allow the chocolate chips to soften slightly. Then, gently spread the chips to cover the surface evenly.
- **Add Almonds:** Sprinkle with slivered almonds, pressing them lightly into the chocolate.
- **Chill & Cut:** Let the bars cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
