Ingredients

For the Crust

2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitution: Gluten-free graham-style crumbs or almond flour can be used.
½ cup Butter, melted Substitution: Vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
2 tablespoons Sugar Can be reduced for a less sweet crust.

For the Filling

3 cups Sweetened Flaked Coconut Note: Toasting enhances flavor; can substitute unsweetened coconut but add sugar to the crust.
14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk For a dairy-free version, use coconut condensed milk.
1 cup Seedless Raspberry Preserves Substitution: Any seedless jam or preserves—blackberry or apricot works well.

For the Toppings

½ cup Chopped Pecans Substitution: Sunflower seeds for a nut-free version or omit.
½ cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips Note: Dark chocolate for a more sophisticated flavor.
⅓ cup White Baking Chips Note: Omit if not desired—use only semisweet chocolate.
1 teaspoon Shortening

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Evenly sprinkle the sweetened flaked coconut over the crust, then pour the sweetened condensed milk over it. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry preserves on top.
Sprinkle chopped pecans, semisweet chocolate chips, and white baking chips evenly across the top.
Bake for 25 minutes until lightly golden brown around the edges.
Let the bars cool in the pan for at least two hours before slicing them into squares.
