  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 24 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed Nilla wafers, 8oz
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup macadamia nuts, chopped
  • ¾ cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a bowl, mix 2 cups crushed Nilla wafers and ½ cup melted butter until evenly combined, the mixture should resemble wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Sprinkle 1 cup white chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Scatter ¾ cup chopped macadamia nuts and ¾ cup chopped dried cherries evenly over the chocolate chips.
  5. Sprinkle ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut over the top.
  6. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire surface, making sure most of the topping is covered.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and the coconut is lightly golden.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into bars. Cutting while still warm will cause them to fall apart.

Notes

You can make these more bite-size by cutting into smaller bars.
