Hi welcome to our website!

If you are looking for a tasty old fashion childhood recipe, this is it!

This recipe is pretty much only a few simple ingredients and made usually at Christmas time, baby showers and bridal showers. Sometimes I like making these if I'm expecting company and like to pull out all the stops. 🙂

You can use chocolate chips, dark chocolate or are bars, for the top layer for these delicious bars.

**Sweet condensed milk is one of the ingredients in this recipe.**

Add all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together, leaving out the chocolate chips they are for the final step.

**SCOOP OUT INGREDIENTS IN SQUARE PAN, lined with parchment paper**.

Flatten mixture into square pan, bake for 15 minutes or less on 350ºf

Ingredients

Graham crumbs - 2-1/2 cups
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 can, 300ml
Butter or margarine - 1/2 cup
Unsweetened fine coconut - 2 cups
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Sea salt - 1/2 tsp
Semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1 bag, 300g

Instructions

In a large bowl add graham cracker crumbs, melted butter or margarine, condensed milk, seas salt, unsweetened coconut and vanilla. Toss together until all ingredients are combined and ready to use.

In a square baking pan of choice, add a piece of parchment paper to bottom and add all of the mixture. Press down in pan evenly and prepare the oven to 350ºF and after its ready put pan in oven and set the timer to 15 to 20 minutes. Depending on your oven.

When baked turn oven off, then remove pan from oven and toss chocolate chips or chucks over the top, place back in the oven for 2 minutes just to soften the chocolate, then remove from oven and spread chocolate evenly over the top. “ Or melt chocolate in microwave and pour over top” what works for you.

Set aside and let pan cool to room temperature before cutting then into squares, or size of choice.

These FIVE STAR BARS can be stored at room temperature while serving them, and kept in a container with lid for storage in fridge or freezer.

Freeze them for longer storage and to keep then fresh. Enjoy

I hope your still interested in knowing more about these tasty little five star bars, its hard to only eat one. I like freezing them and taking them out when I need a few for guest or myself. If you like to use a square pan, 9 x 9 or 8 x 8, even a longer pan, depending on what size or thickness you would like.

**After they are baked, toss the chocolate over the top and place back into the warm oven, turned off for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.**

**After chocolate is melted spread over filling.**

When five star bars are at room temperature remove from pan with the parchment paper and place on counter top.
