How to Make Coconut 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 vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the shredded coconut, flour, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly moistened.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to firm up and makes cutting easier.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy your delicious homemade coconut bars!
