Blackberry Coconut Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Spray an 8-inch square flameproof pan with nonstick cooking spray. Layer over one slip of parchment paper with edges hanging over. Spray with additional nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Combine 2 cups of the pretzels, the melted butter and sugar in a food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer to the prepared pan. Using your hands or a spatula, press the crust into the pan.
• Sprinkle over the butterscotch chips, 1 cup of the coconut flakes and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Gently but firmly press in with clean hands or a spatula. Pour over the condensed milk and spread evenly. Gently but firmly press in the blackberries until they are partially submerged. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup pretzels. Sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes and 1/4 cup almonds. Press in the filling with a spatula.
• Bake until golden brown around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes (see Cook's Note). Turn the oven to broil and broil until the coconut is just toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan. Once cool, transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill until fully set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Using the parchment paper, remove the bars from the pan and slice into 16 pieces.
