How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Bars

**Prepare the Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
**Make the Chocolate Topping:** While the crust is baking, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually whisk in the dry cocoa mixture until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup toasted hazelnuts (roughly chopped) and ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut.
**Assemble and Bake:** Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the cooled crust.
Gently shake the pan to distribute the topping evenly.
Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
