Coconut Candy Bars


2 c graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 c whole almonds, toasted
1/3 c packed brown sugar
2/3 c butter, melted
1 14-oz package flaked coconut
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Place graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup almonds and brown sugar into a food processor. Process until almonds are finely chopped. Add butter, cover and pulse until well combined. Press mixture into a 9x13 pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, combine coconut and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl. Spread evenly over crust. Sprinkle remaining almonds (I roughly chop mine) over coconut layer. Gently press in. Bake 10 minutes. While bars are baking, melt chocolate chips in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Spread over the top of baked bars. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
