Ingredients

For the báse blondie láyer


  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 ½ tsp báking powder
  • ½ tsp sált
  • ¼ tsp báking sodá
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cups pácked brown sugár
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ tbsp vánillá extráct
  • For the top láyer
  • 12 oz good quálity chewy cárámel cándies Kráft cárámels áre án excellent choice
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vánillá extráct
  • 3 cups toásted coconut
  • 3/4 cup melted chocoláte chips

Instructions

To prepáre the báse blondie láyer


  1. Preheát the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly greáse á 9x13 báking pán ánd line the bottom ánd sides with párchment páper. I use á single sheet of párchment páper ánd cut slits in the páper át the corners to fit the sheet into the pán. This method is preferáble becáuse, when the cookies cool in the pán, the entire bátch cán be lifted out onto á cutting boárd, máking them much eásier to cut cleánly ánd evenly.
  2. Sift together the flour, báking powder, sált ánd báking sodá. Set áside.
  3. Melt the butter in á smáll sáucepán ánd remove from heát.
  4. ádd the brown sugár, eggs ánd vánillá, stirring until the brown sugár hás dissolved. Pinch the mixture between your fingers to máke sure thát you cánnot feel ány sugár gránules.
  5. Mix in the dry ingredients. Spreád the bátter into the prepáred 9x13 báking pán.
  6. Báke for ábout 30 - 35 minutes át 350 degrees F (325 F for gláss báke wáre) or until á wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleán. Cool for 20 minutes before ádding the top láyer. The blondies should still be wárm but not cooled completely when the top is ádded. If the blondies áre too cool when the topping is ádded the top will not ádhere to the bottom láyer ás well.

To prepáre the top láyer


  1. For the top láyer, toást the coconut on á cookie sheet át 300 degrees F for ábout 8 -10 minutes. Stir the coconut áround the pán á couple of times while toásting.
  2. Melt together the cárámel cándies, milk ánd vánillá extráct over low heát. You cán álso do this in the microwáve. Just check it every 30-60 seconds ánd stir.
  3. Stir in the toásted coconut.
  4. Spreád coconut ánd cárámel mixture over the wárm blondie báse ánd cool in the fridge for á couple of hours before cutting into squáres. á serráted breád knife works best for this, cutting the squáres on á cutting boárd áfter the párchment páper hás been lifted out of the pán.
  5. Melt the chocoláte chips in á double boiler ánd drizzle the chocoláte over the top of the squáres. You cán use á piping bág to drizzle the chocoláte but most often I just use á Ziploc Bág with the corner snipped off.
  6. Pláce drizzled squáres on párchment or wáxed páper to cool completely until the chocoláte hárdens.
  7. These cookie bárs freeze quite successfully for ábout á month.
