So easy, quick and simple to make. It involves layering just a few ingredients into a baking pan. Put it in the oven and thirty minutes later you’ve got a sweet and salty treat. These are a favorite around my house. This would be the perfect dessert to make ahead and take to a super bowl party on Sunday. Double the recipe and bake them in a 9 x 13 pan to feed a crowd.

Drizzle sweetened condensed milk on top to completely cover. Sprinkle additional coconut flakes over top so they will get lightly brown and crunchy.

Notes

I crush my own graham crackers by placing them in a zip top baggie and use the smooth side of my meat mallet and bang away.
