Description
A chewy, chocolatey dessert bar inspired by the classic candy, these Almond Joy Cookie Bars combine coconut, almonds, and chocolate over a buttery graham crust. They’re easy to make and perfect for any sweet tooth.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
1/2 cup whole almonds
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix melted butter and graham cracker crumbs; press into the bottom of the pan.
3. Sprinkle coconut evenly over the crust. Add a layer of chocolate chips, then scatter almonds.
4. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the top, spreading gently to cover.
5. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden at the edges and set in the center.
6. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
Let bars cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
Line pan with parchment for easy removal and clean cuts.
Use chopped almonds if preferred for easier slicing and even bites.
