These chocolate layer bars combine the flavors of coconut, chocolate and peanut butter in cookie bars that are perfect for bake sales, picnics, parties and more. If you like magic cookie bars, you will undoubtedly like these chocolate peanut butter bars.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1-1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 7 oz. sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 11 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Place the stick of butter in a 9 x 13 baking dish on the center rack of the oven. Let the butter melt, 2-5 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers evenly over the melted butter. Sprinkle the coconut over the graham crackers. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut.

  4. Bake on the center rack for 20-25 minutes until the coconut turns golden brown.
