Рецепт Chocolate-Coconut Joy Bars
Sometimes you feel like a nut - sometimes you don't! I guess I fall into the "nut" category for putting my oven on in this heat, but it's much better today. This is a sneak preview of one of the new Fall/Winter recipes from The Pampered Chef Season's Best collection. These bars have the flavor of the popular candy bar and are so easy to make!
You will need:
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 bag (14 oz.) sweetened, flaked coconut, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Devil's Food cake mix (1/2 box)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup water
- 1-1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
- Toasted sliced almonds for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Finely chop almonds. Combine almonds, 1 cup of the coconut, flour, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar and baking soda in a medium bowl. Mix well. Add butter; and mix until combined. Press mixture onto bottom of 11 x 15 sheet pan.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine cake mix, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, egg and water; whisk 1 minute or until smooth. Pour batter over warm crust; carefully spread to edges. Sprinkle batter evenly with 1/2 cup of the chocolate morsels and remaining coconut.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until coconut is toasted.
Place remaining 3/4 cup chocolate morsels in 1 cup glass bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1 minutes or until mostly melted. Stir to fully melt chocolate. Spoon melted chocolate into resealable plastic bag. Twist top of bag; trim corner. Drizzle chocolate over toasted coconut topping. Garnish with toasted sliced almonds. Cut into 24 bars. Serve warm or at room temperature.
