Coconut Chocolate Bars

Description: GREAT COMBINATON! My friends nicknamed these cookies "black-white" bars. These bars help with the chocolate and coconut cravings at the same time! They sell well at Bake Sales! Careful not to overbake. They store well in an air-tight container and flavor enhances with age.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 cup chocolate chips (milk chocolate best)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

1. In a medium size bowl, beat eggs and add sugar. Blend in melted butter and vanilla.
2. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Blend into mixture.
3. Pour one-half of batter into another bowl. In one batter add cocoa and the one tablespoon of melted butter. In the second batter add coconut.
4. Pour the chocolate batter into a greased 8 x 8 baking pan. Spread the coconut batter on top.
5. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool.
6. Topping: Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 1 minute. Add melted butter and mix. Spread onto cooled bars. Let cool completely and cut into bars. Cut small--they are rich. (I have placed pan in fridg for 30 minutes to cool quickly.).
7. Enjoy!
