2. Toast Macadamia Nuts: Spread the macadamia nuts evenly on a baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once done, set the baking sheet aside on a wire rack to cool.

3. Prepare Baking Pan: Line an 11×18-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that it overhangs on the sides for easy removal later.

4. Prepare Graham Cracker Base: In a medium bowl, finely crush the graham crackers using a food processor or a rolling pin. Once crushed, transfer them to the prepared baking pan. Add the melted butter to the crushed graham crackers and mix well. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking pan to form an even layer.

5. Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle the bittersweet chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker base. Next, sprinkle the sweetened flaked coconut over the chocolate chips, covering them completely. Then, sprinkle the toasted macadamia nuts over the coconut, reserving some for later.

6. Drizzle with Caramel: Heat the caramel sauce either in a microwave or using a double boiler until it reaches a liquid consistency. Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the toasted macadamia nuts, ensuring even coverage.

7. Bake: Place the prepared baking pan in the preheated oven and bake the Congo Bars until they turn golden brown, about 20 minutes.

8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, transfer the baking pan to a wire rack and allow the Congo Bars to cool completely. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer them to a cutting board and cut them into your desired size pieces.

9. Enjoy: Serve these delectable Congo Bars as a delightful dessert or snack, and indulge in their irresistible combination of flavors and textures!
