Buttery Coconut Bars have so much butter flavor and are chock full of coconut. This easy recipe is a real crowd pleaser for potlucks and picnics.

 
Buttery Coconut Bars have a shortbread-type crust topped with a rich coconut layer made with sweetened condensed milk and lots of sweetened shredded coconut.
This recipe is all about the coconut, but I also add vanilla extract and just a touch of almond extract for flavor.

 
The crust is a simple mixture of flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. It gets pressed into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan and baked for 15 minutes.
No mixer needed for the filling. Just a large bowl and a whisk. It’s a mixture of eggs, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, flour,  melted butter, and coconut. The filling gets poured on top of the crust and the pan gets popped back in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Let the bars cool and then cut into squares. Enjoy!
