How to Make Mrs Fields Coconut Mud Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. While the crust cools, prepare the chocolate ganache.
  8. In a medium heatproof bowl, place 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped.
  9. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  10. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let stand for 5 minutes.
  11. Whisk until smooth and glossy. Refrigerate until slightly thickened (about 30 minutes).
  12. Meanwhile, prepare the coconut topping.
  13. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  14. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  15. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  16. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended).
  17. Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the cooled crust.
  18. Drop spoonfuls of the coconut topping evenly over the ganache. Spread with a spatula or knife.
  19. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are set.
  20. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
