Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that it’s perfectly warmed up for baking these delicious treats. -
Prepare Baking Pan:
Generously butter a 9-inch square baking pan. This prevents the sweet heaven bars from sticking to the pan and ensures easy removal. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, chopped walnuts, sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Stir the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed. -
Mix Thoroughly:
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed. This ensures that each bite of the sweet heaven bars is filled with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. -
Press into Pan:
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to ensure that it’s compacted and smooth. -
Bake:
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Keep an eye on them as oven temperatures may vary. -
Cool Thoroughly:
Once baked, allow the sweet heaven bars to cool completely in the pan. This step is crucial for them to set properly and develop their perfect texture. -
Cut into Squares:
Once completely cooled, carefully remove the sweet heaven slab from the pan. Using a sharp knife, cut it into 1-inch squares. For clean cuts, it’s best to use a gentle sawing motion. -
Optional Refrigeration:
If you’re eager to enjoy these treats sooner, you can refrigerate them to speed up the cooling process. However, make sure they are fully cooled before cutting into squares. -
Adjust Baking Time for Dark Pans:
If you’re using a dark baking pan, lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) and bake for 30 minutes. Dark pans tend to absorb more heat, so adjusting the temperature ensures that your sweet heaven bars bake evenly. -
Baking Tip:
To make cleanup even easier and ensure that your sweet heaven bars come out effortlessly, consider lining your baking pan with parchment paper before pressing in the mixture. This makes for easy removal and cleanup.
