List of Ingredients

1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
10 ounces semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup whipping cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups coconut
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF; butter a 9x13-inch pan. For the first layer, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Cut 1 stick of butter into the dry mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Press the mixture into the bottom of your pan. Bake for 10 minutes, just until set.

For the second layer, place the chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small pan, bring the cream to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust and refrigerate for 15 minutes. For the topping, cream 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until blended. Beat in the eggs. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Drop the mixture over the chocolate and spread gently. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is brown. Cool completely. Cut into bars
