Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, toasted coconut, white chocolate chips, and bittersweet chocolate chips until well combined. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Gently spread the cranberry-coconut mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring it reaches all edges. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set. (28 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan for easier cutting. (60 minutes)

Toasting the coconut enhances its flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden, watching carefully to prevent burning.
For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the crust. The salt complements the sweetness of the filling.
Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts and chocolate chips to customize the bars to your liking. Walnuts, almonds, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate would all be delicious additions.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
