How to Make Chocolate Almond Macaroon Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or similar to ensure an even layer.
  4. In a separate large bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and toasted almonds until well combined.
  5. Spoon the coconut mixture evenly over the crumb crust. Spread into an even layer.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the coconut just begin to turn golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. While the bars are cooling, prepare the chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream.
  9. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  10. Let the chocolate topping cool slightly until it thickens enough to spread easily (about 5-10 minutes).
  11. Spread the chocolate topping evenly over the cooled macaroon bars.
  12. Sprinkle with white chocolate chips.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to set completely.
  14. Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
