These bars almost need no introduction. Beloved by VegNews readers, they’re gooey, sweet, creamy, chocolatey, and everything you’d ever want in a delicious homemade bar.
What you need:
For the sweetened condensed milk:
1½ cups vegan milk, plus more if needed
3 tablespoons vegan butter
½ cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the bars:
1 cup vegan butter, melted
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1⅓ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Vegan Milk (recipe above or canned vegan condensed milk)
What you do:
- For the sweetened condensed milk, into a slow cooker, place milk, butter, and sugar, and stir well. Cook on high 1½ hours, uncovered, stirring every 30 minutes. Add vanilla and mix. Pour in a measuring cup to ensure you have 14 ounces, adding more milk if necessary. See below for readily available canned condensed vegan milk.
- For the bars, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, pour melted butter and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, chocolate chips, and coconut. Evenly drizzle condensed milk over top to cover entire pan.
- Bake 25 minutes, and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Chill for 1 hour, cut into bars, and serve.
