Mounds Bars

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup butter 1/2 stick, melted
  • 1 can 14 ounces Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
  • 7 ounces coconut
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325º.
  • Mix crumbs, powdered sugar and butter and pat into an 8 x 8 pan (may line with non-stick foil for easy removal). Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Pour sweet and condensed milk into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat till quite warm to touch. Stir in coconut. Spread evenly over crust. Bake 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before icing.
  • Melt chocolate and cream in the microwave, using stopping and stirring at 30-second increments, till smooth. Give the mixture a good whisk and pour over coconut layer and spread to cover.
  • Chill before cutting for a cleaner cut. If chocolate is too hard, it will crack unless you first score it with a hot, dry knife.
