Raspberry Coconut Bars are positively delicious sweets treats, perfect for tea. These tasty squares are pure perfection – the base is a buttery Graham Cracker Crust topped with chocolate morsels, flaked coconut and a generous drizzling of sweetened condensed milk. It’s then popped into the oven, baked and then the toasted coconut crust is layered with delicious raspberry preserve and melted chocolate chips.
Raspberry Jam Bars are utterly delish, really attractive and they all disappear very quickly. These crowd-pleasers look absolutely rich and luscious with all the coconut, chocolate and sweet-tart raspberry preserve. The chocolate drizzle creates a beautiful lacy effect on the raspberry coconut layer bars.
