List of Ingredients



• Crust:
  
• 1/2 cup butter
  
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 1 1/2 cups toasted shredded sweetened coconut
  
• Toppings:
  
• 3/4 cup chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
  
• 1 cup (10 ounces) caramel, from a block or unwrapped candies
  
• 1/2 cup toasted shredded sweetened coconut
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 or 11x11 pan.
   
2. To make crust: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, vanilla and egg. Mix in the flour, salt, baking powder and 1 1/2 cups of the coconut. Spread the mixture in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the bars from the oven and sprinkle with the chocolate. Allow the chocolate to soften for about 5 minutes, then spread it evenly atop the bars.
   
3. Melt the caramel over low heat, or int the microwave, until it's pourable. Drizzle it over the bars and sprinkle with the reserved coconut over the top. Loosen the edges of the crust with a knife, then set aside to cool completely before cutting and serving.
