Fantasio Bars with Graham Cracker Crust

First things first: let’s talk crust. We’re using graham crackers because who doesn’t love a crunchy, sweet base for their desserts? Plus, they pair perfectly with our creamy filling and delightful toppings!

Fantasio Bars with Graham Cracker Crust

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these glorious treats:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup shredded coconut (optional, but when is coconut ever not a good idea?)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (because we need that fluff, right?)

Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part. Follow these steps, and you’ll be a kitchen rockstar by the end!

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). We want our bars to bake in just the right environment!
  2. Crust Time: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand (get your hands in there, if you want!)
  3. Base it Out: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 8×8 inch baking dish to form a solid crust. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect; it will taste amazing regardless!
  4. Fill it Up: In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut (if using). Once it’s well mixed, gently fold in the whipped topping until just combined.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the filling over the crust and spread it out evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. You want that filling to set up just right!
  6. Chill Out: After baking, let it cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or longer if you can resist… good luck!).
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and serve these beauties chilled. Enjoy the awe on everyone’s faces when they take a bite!

And there you have it, your very own Fantasio Bars! Be prepared; they might just disappear faster than you can say “yum.” Enjoy your delightful creation, and remember to keep the napkins handy—you’ll need them!
