Delightful bars made with a crumbly graham cracker crust, creamy cream cheese filling, and a rich toffee topping that evokes nostalgic memories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (for the toffee)
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup toffee bits or chopped chocolate-covered toffee

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 9×9 inch baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth using a handheld mixer or a sturdy whisk. Add vanilla extract and mix again until fully incorporated. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  3. Prepare the toffee by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and adding brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture bubbles, then let it boil gently for about 3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add the warm toffee over the cream cheese layer, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Sprinkle toffee bits on top while the toffee is still warm.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight until fully set. Cut into 16 bars using a sharp knife dipped in hot water.

Notes

For added flavor and a different twist, consider using flavored graham crackers or adding mini chocolate chips in place of shredded coconut.
