Chocolate Coconut Bars is a quick and easy dessert recipe where there are two layers. The first - is a crispy, buttery, flaky layer made of flour, sugar, and butter. The second one (aka the final layer) is a Chewy, Chocolaty, Coconutty layer topped with chopped Pecan Nuts & Toasted Coconuts. Don't miss - Chocolate Buttermilk Bars 🍫 and Pear Coconut Chocolate Bars 🍐🥥

Talking about Chocolate and Coconut desserts have you tried these Chocolate Coconut Balls or these Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons?

This is not your traditional Chocolate Coconut bar. The first layer is not made of Graham Crackers. Instead, I have used Butter, Sugar, Flour, and a pinch of salt to make my first layer.

And, the final layer doesn't use Sweetened Condensed Milk. Instead of that, I have used Heavy cream and some Granulated sugar along with Pecan Nuts, Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, and Sweetened Shredded coconut.

Don't worry this is not too sweet. In fact, this is:

  • Chocolaty 💝🍫
  • Coconutty 🥥🌴
  • Crispy, Crunchy, and Chewy 😋😍

These Chocolate Coconut Bars are baked in the oven and then cooled down. But, if you prefer No-Bake Bars you can skip flour for the bottom layer.

Instead of flour, you can use Graham Crackers Crumbs OR Pretzel Crumbs and Melted Butter to make the bottom layer.

I try to avoid making No-Bake bars since it requires long hours in the refrigerator to set. ❄️

Although I have made few No-Bake Bars in the past such as  -

  • No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars
  • No-Bake Strawberry Oatmeal Bars with Chocolate Chunks
  • No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

For the second layer, you can use the ingredients mentioned in this recipe. And, then just freeze them until they are completely set.

Though No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Bars would be much easier. But, I prefer baking it. just a personal preference.

🥘 Ingredients

For First Layer

  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Melted Butter
  • Kosher Salt

For Second Layer

  • Sweetened Shredded Coconut
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Heavy Cream
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Pecan Nuts chopped

For topping

  • Sweetened Shredded Coconut

🧊 Storage

These Chocolate Coconut Bars can be easily stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. But, not without keeping it in an air-tight container.

Freezing these Bars ❄️

You can also freeze them up for 1-2 weeks. But, before freezing make sure you place it in a freezer-friendly bag. Label the bag and before serving, just thaw it in the refrigerator or on the countertop for at least 1 hour.

Can I Make this Diary Free? 🥛

Yes, you can make Chocolate Coconut bars dairy-free. All you have to do is the following substitutions.

  • Replace Regular Butter with Dairy-Free Butter. Or else you can also use Coconut oil.
  • Replace Heavy Cream with Coconut Cream or Soy Milk or Almond Milk.

How to Cut Chocolate Coconut Bars Efficiently

You can cut your bars into 12 or 16 bars.

Use a plastic knife to make three even cuts from one side and 4 even cuts from the opposite direction. Cut all the way through the bottom of the pan.
