Ingredients for Belafonte Bars

How to Make Belafonte Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until evenly distributed.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  5. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your taste of the tropics!
  6. For an extra touch, consider drizzling melted white chocolate over the cooled bars before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
