It has many steps, and kind of takes a while- but it's worth it to me, as long as you have enough time. I don't have time to write out the recipe now, but you can get it from the link above. *The only change I made was to omit the egg from the crust, as suggested by many of the commenters. I made the crust in a foil-lined pan, which made it much easier to get out. Here are the basic steps to this recipe:
1. Bake a shortbread crust, cool, remove from pan. Mix together toasted coconut & melted caramel, and spread on top of crust (below). Cool.
2. Cut into bars (I did 24 bars), melt chocolate, dip bars into chocolate (works best to use a small flat dish, like the Pyrex one in this picture) & place on waxed paper to cool.
3. Place remaining melted chocolate in a ziploc bag, snip off the corner, and drizzle over each bar.
4. Cool completely, then remove from pan & store in an airtight container. I actually just left mine on the cookie sheets, and covered them with plastic wrap until the next day when I put them on a serving platter. I stored extras in a container. *Note- these work great made the day before serving, and mine were still just as good 2 days later. By 3 days, the chocolate started to look a little hazy.
