Buttery, chewy, and dripping with caramel goodness, these Coconut Toffee Bars are a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth. They combine a crunchy cookie crust, a creamy middle layer, and a luscious toffee topping dotted with rich coconut and buttery bits. With their texture-packed bite and sweet layers, these bars are perfect for gifting, holiday spreads, or just because you deserve a treat.

Each bite delivers a flavor combo that satisfies cravings instantly. The contrast between the golden cookie base and smooth white layer adds visual charm and a melt-in-your-mouth finish. Whether you’re new to baking or a seasoned pro, you’ll find these bars both easy to make and impossible to resist.

What Kind of Toffee Should I Use?

For the best flavor and texture, opt for soft toffee bits (like Heath English Toffee Bits or Werther’s Soft Caramels chopped up). They melt smoothly into the top layer, binding perfectly with the coconut. Avoid hard, brittle toffee unless you want extra crunch.

Ingredients for the Coconut Toffee Bars

Graham Cracker Crumbs: Forms the crunchy base and provides a toasted, nutty flavor.

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds creamy sweetness and helps bind the base and filling layers.

White Chocolate Chips: Melt into a creamy layer that pairs beautifully with coconut and toffee.

Butter: Adds richness to every layer, helping the crust hold and enriching the flavor of the topping.

Toffee Bits: The star of the top layer, adding a deep caramelized flavor.

Shredded Sweetened Coconut: Gives chew and tropical flair, balancing the richness of the toffee.

How To Make the Coconut Toffee Bars

Step 1: Create the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and half of the condensed milk. Press firmly into a parchment-lined baking pan.

Step 2: Add the Creamy Middle

Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over the crust. Gently drizzle the remaining sweetened condensed milk on top. It will help melt the chocolate into a velvety center.

Step 3: Layer on the Coconut and Toffee

Evenly distribute shredded coconut and toffee bits across the top. Lightly press down so they adhere to the creamy layer.

Step 4: Bake and Cool

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into bars so layers set properly.

Serving and Storing Coconut Toffee Bars

These bars slice beautifully once cooled, making them ideal for serving at room temperature. For a firmer texture, chill them slightly before cutting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness. They also freeze well if you want to make them ahead.
