A chewy coconut and chocolate layer bar with a shortbread base.

40 minutes · 12 servings · Easy

This is the home version, built on a shortbread base rather than the graham cracker crumb sold in boxes. The shortbread adds a buttery snap at the bottom that makes the whole square eat like a small piece of pie. It sets in the fridge without baking, so it is a good thing to make the evening before.
