Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated with the butter mixture, then firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a 13×9 inch baking pan to create an even base.
-
Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crumb layer, ensuring it covers the base entirely. Allow this to chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
-
Layer the Raspberry Jam: Once chilled, gently layer the raspberry jam over the condensed milk, spreading it out evenly for a delicious burst of flavor in every bite.
-
Top with Coconut and Nuts: Sprinkle the flaked coconut and chopped nuts over the raspberry layer, creating a delightful topping that will add both texture and taste.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the edges are set.
-
Cool and Cut: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a rack. Once cooled, you can chill it in the refrigerator if desired for a firmer texture.
-
Serve: Cut into bars and serve at room temperature. These bars can be stored loosely covered at room temperature, maintaining their deliciousness for several days.
Enjoy your homemade Raspberry Layer Bars, a perfect treat for gatherings or a sweet indulgence at home!
