Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    These bars have the almond and coconut flavors of a popular candy bar.
  • tip 2
    Use semisweet chocolate squares in place of chocolate chips. Use three 1-ounce squares for 1/2 cup of chips. Coarsely chop the squares so the chocolate will melt easily and uniformly.
  • tip 3
    After opening the bag of coconut, reseal it tightly and refrigerate it. Use it within three months.
