How to Make Belafonte Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
- Add the shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your taste of the tropics!
- For an extra touch, consider drizzling melted white chocolate over the cooled bars before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
