Amazon Bars

Holey Moley! This is a treat I grew up with: rich with condensed milk, gooey chocolate, crumbly graham cracker crust... This was the BEST treat ever. And guess what...it's now vegan friendly. :-)

Ingredients
1 14 oz can coconut milk
2/3 cup brown sugar (or 2/3 cup white sugar and enough molasses to turn mixture brown)
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate wafer crumbs)
2 TBS sugar
1 stick margarine (1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans or nut of your choice

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13x9x2 baking dish with parchment paper or foil.
2. Put coconut milk and brown sugar into a small pot. Bring mixture to a boil and mix until all sugar is melted. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Melt margarine. Mix with graham cracker crumbs and sugar so that everything is moist.
4. Press graham cracker crumbs into the baking dish. The more you press, the firmer the crust, the easier it will be to cut the bars!
5. Pour the coconut mixture over the crust.
6. Evenly distribute chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts (in that order).
7. Bake for 28-30 minutes.
8. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Put in fridge and let it cool for 4 hours.
9. Cut into desired size bars. Put back in fridge.
10. EAT! You deserve a piece after waiting so long!
