Ditch all that sugary cookie crust and make a slightly sweetened almond crust magic bar. Crust ingredients include almond flour, some sugar, and butter. Topping ingredients include unsweetened flaked coconut, chopped pecans, milk chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk. Bake and have yourself the perfect sweetness magic bar!

Sometimes magic bars can be way too sweet only because there are usually made with a graham cracker crust, semi-sweet chocolate morsels, butterscotch morsels and sweetened flaked coconut. All that combination ends up being way too sweet. At least it is for me and my crew.

With that said I decided to decrease the sweetness by using almond flour slightly sweetened with a bit of sugar. Instead of using semi-sweet chocolate morsels I use milk chocolate morsels. And since the milk chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk add enough sweetness I decided to go with unsweetened coconut flakes. This turned out to be the perfect recipe for my family and one of their favorites. I hope it turns out to be your family’s favorite too!

Almond Crust Magic Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 Tablespoons butter melted

Topping

• 1 cup flaked coconut (I used unsweetened)
• 2 cups milk chocolate morsels
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Grease a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine almond flour, sugar and butter in a small mixing bowl and stir to combine all ingredients until moistened. Press mixture evenly into baking dish.

Layer evenly with coconut, chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk and place in preheated oven.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until sides of bars are lightly browned.

Carefully remove pan from oven and allow to cool on cooling rack. Cut into squares or your favorite shapes and serve. Store in closed container at room temperature no longer than 5 days (if they even last that long). Enjoy!
