Coconut Cream Bars

1.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2.

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

3.

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust layer, and set aside.

4.

In another bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

5.

Spread the coconut mixture over the crust in the baking dish, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.

6.

Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over the top of the coconut layer to ensure even distribution during baking.

7.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the middle is set.

8.

Allow the bars to cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
