Delicious and fudgy bars with a macaroon center!
Coconut. I feel like you either love it or hate it. I used to hate coconut. The texture and taste of it would just gross me out. I slowly started liking it with Almond Joy Bars. And now I love it!
If you love amazing chewy fudgy brownies and macaroons then this recipe is for you. Layers of fudge brownie and a sweet coconut macaroon center. It is the best of both worlds combined into one! I served these at a gathering and everyone was raving about them. They were so easy to put together and baked perfectly. Just make sure that you serve them with a big tall glass of milk! 🙂

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
To the melted chocolate, whisk in the sugar, flour, salt, vanilla, almond extract, and eggs. Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish
In a large mixing bowl combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla.
Carefully spoon the coconut mixture over the chocolate batter. Carefully spoon the remaining chocolate batter over the coconut layer and spread until even.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the sides pull away from the pan.
In another microwave-safe bowl melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and spread them over the the baked bars. Cool completely before serving.
