My Dad celebrated his 60th birthday on Friday. My brother celebrated his 30th birthday on Friday. Confusing? Well get this…they have the same name too! And quite typically {as in always} they really don’t have the same vision for what they want to do on their birthdays. Solution? We party for a couple days straight!

My Dad is a big coconut fan so anything I make with coconut he loves. I knew I was going to make up a batch of Raspberry Coconut Magic Bars for his birthday but he surprised me with a request for a German chocolate cake {usually it’s my Nana’s Carrot Cake}. I had my Nana’s German chocolate cake and frosting recipe so I whipped that up…and had totally forgotten how addictive the frosting is. Totally. Addicting. Bryce found out that he L-O-V-E-S coconut! And frosting. He ate, by the spoonful, and I am not joking here, about a half a cup of German Chocolate frosting before it made it to the cake. Seriously.

Bryce-eating-frosting

When I took it away from him, he asked me, and I quote, “Can I have some for snack then?” Oh my goodness. I explained that it was supposed to go on Grandpa’s cake to which Bryce responded, “I don’t want cake. I want frosting!” I hear ya honey – I hear ya. How do you explain to a four year old that the sole reason for cakes is so that we can eat the frosting? It’s simply not dignified to eat frosting by itself.  Now, of course, if you’re alone…totally different story. Or, if you’re four…

Anyways, the cake and most of the frosting made it to my sister’s house for after dinner. My Dad had fun trying to blow out the sparkler candles and then the boys stepped in and giggling away, attempted to blow them all out as they kept re-lighting. Good times!

dads-60th-birthday

I guess you’re wondering when the Raspberry Coconut Magic Bars came into play right? Well Saturday we had a BBQ at my house for my brother and he requested fruit salad instead of a cake. I saved the bars for Saturday so we would all have something sweet to snack on. Well, most of the bars were saved for Saturday…

If you have a coconut lover in your life – these bars are PERFECTION! They start out with a graham cracker crust and lots of coconut. The magical ingredient, sweetened condensed milk, is poured over the top and then it’s thrown in the oven. Layer on your favorite flavor of preserves {blackberry is super good too!}, some chopped nuts of your choice {we went with pecans} and then drizzle on some chocolate.

If you’ve got bored kids around – this is a great recipe for them to help out with. Bryce was able to spread the preserves and sprinkle on the pecans…

    I just made these bars for a Valentine’s Day meal. They were not only delicious (I mean super duper delicious) but pretty too. The only thing I will do differently next time, and there will be a next time, is to thicken the preserve/jam layer. I used Smuckers seedless raspberry jam and it was a bit too “runny” for my liking. Thanks for this gem of a recipe.

    I made your raspberry bars at Christmas and they were a huge hit!! For Easter I am doing your recipe with a slight twist. A graham cracker/ginger snap crust and lemon curd in place of the raspberry….so a ginger coconut lemon magic bar. Fingers crossed this works.

    The raspberry coconut bars are fantastic! Made them to rave reviews!

    Here’s my question: Is the instruction correct to let the crust completely cool before topping with the jam? When I wait for it to be COMPLETELY cool the jam stays too runny and gooey ~ but if I allow the bars to cool SLIGHTLY and then spread with jam, the jam spreads beautifully and even and also develops a bit of a “skin” on top so that the jam is not runny and really holds the chopped nuts. Thoughts?

      Are you having a problem melting the chocolate or drizzling? I usually just use a fork to drizzle. Drizzle from about 8 inches up for more even coverage. Hope that helps!

        July 9, 2016 at 5:49 PM

        I had a hard time the first batch, too. I found if I melt the chocolate in a double boiler rather than the microwave, it melts much nicer and can be drizzled.

          I went back and made second batch and must have been thinking about another cookie. I also had trouble melting chocolate chips to “drizzle” and think you would have to use melting chocolate.

          Also, I had the dickens of a time getting these out of the pan, and I did butter the baking pan first. Any suggestions?

            I would suggest a non-stick cooking spray over butter. Butter can burn and cause stickiness.

      Hmmm..I think this may work if you really pack the coconut together to it creates a kind of “coconut crust”. If you do give it a try, I’d love to know how they turn out!

    There are so many “magic bar” recipes out there that I usually don’t read them but you caught me at “raspberry”. I was also intrigued at the amount of coconut and how you baked it then finished assembling it. They turned out fantastic and even the men I served them to loved them! I did have a little trouble drizzling the melted chocolate chips but not the white chocolate chips which had the shortening added. Do you think it might help to add the same amount of shortening to the chocolate chips or is there some reason not to?
    Thanks for a great recipe!

    Reply
    • Trish - Mom On Timeout says

      May 10, 2013 at 7:36 PM

      Thank you Patty! If your chocolate isn’t melting you can always add a little bit of shortening to it and it will make it drizzle easier. I always have issues with white chocolate which is why I added it here but it works for either. I’m so glad you gave the recipe a try and thank you so much for stopping back by to leave me a comment! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    I was just wondering if anyone has tried putting all the layers together for the coconut raspberry bars & baking all at once instead of baking the bottom & microwaving the top? I know that standard matrimonial bars have the chocolate, coconut & nuts all layered, then topped with sweet & condensed milk before baking. Just wondering if maybe it had to be separate because of crunch or something.

    Reply
    • Trish - Mom On Timeout says

      April 8, 2013 at 8:38 AM

      You absolutely could Michele but it would alter the taste and texture slightly. By putting that first time – the coconut gets nicely toasted which contributes to the overall flavor and texture of the dessert. Hope that helps!
