ALMOND CHOCOCONUT BARS

Category: Bars

1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1 tsp almond extract

Prepare as indicated on the box but add the almond extract at the same time you add the eggs. Cool. When the brownies are cool, poke holes all over the brownie's surface with a fork. Keep the oven on.

1 bag of sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 can of condensed milk
20 big marshmallows

Put the condensed milk into a small medium sized saucepan and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Stir often so that the bottom of the pan doesn't burn and turn the milk into caramel. Add the marshmallows and continue mixing until the marshmallows are completely melted. Add the coconut and mix well. Spoon the coconut mixture over the cooled brownies and put it back in the oven for 8 minutes. Cool. (Turn off oven)

1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup of chopped almonds

In small bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave for a minute at a time and mix well. Continue until completely melted. Drizzle over bars. While the chocolate is still soft and unset, scatter almonds over the bars too. Cover lightly and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
