Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making the Crust<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare<\/strong>
Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong> and lightly grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Mix the Crust<\/strong>
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour<\/strong>, 1 cup packed brown sugar<\/strong>, and 1 teaspoon salt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Press and Bake<\/strong>
Stir in 1 cup melted butter<\/strong> and mix until fully combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Preparing the Filling<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Mix the Filling<\/strong>
In a large bowl, whisk together 1\/2 cup flour<\/strong>, 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk<\/strong>, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar<\/strong>, 3 eggs<\/strong>, 1\/4 cup melted butter<\/strong>, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/strong>, and 1 teaspoon salt<\/strong> until smooth and well blended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Add Coconut<\/strong>
Fold in 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut<\/strong> until evenly distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Assemble<\/strong>
Pour the coconut filling evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the top with the additional 1 cup shredded coconut<\/strong> for extra texture and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Baking and Cooling<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: Final Bake<\/strong>
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25\u201330 minutes<\/strong>, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: Cool and Serve<\/strong>
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve as-is or dust lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
