Ingredients

BASE 

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter 

1/4 cup powdered sugar 

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa 

2 teaspoons vanilla 

1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Half & Half 

1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut 

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans 

FILLING 

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter 

2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Half & Half 

1 3/4 cups powdered sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

GLAZE 

2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter 

2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Half & Half 

2 tablespoons light corn syrup 

1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 

3/4 to 1 cup powdered sugar 

Directions 

Place 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and cocoa in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove from heat. Add all remaining base ingredients; mix well. Press mixture onto bottom of ungreased 8-inch square baking pan. 

Combine all filling ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Spread evenly over crust. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until firm. 

Place 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons half & half and corn syrup in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips until melted. 

Pour chocolate into bowl. Mix in enough powdered sugar for desired spreading consistency. Spread glaze evenly over filling. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours or until serving time. Store refrigerated. 

Recipe Tip

These bars are best served cold from the refrigerator so the filling doesn't become too soft.

Use knife dipped in warm water to cut bars.
