How to Make Coconut Macdamia Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Let the crust cool completely.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts. Mix well.
  7. Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening.
  9. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
  10. Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut mixture and spread evenly.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sweetened shredded coconut (optional).
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set, before cutting into bars.
