Easy Chocolate Coconut Toffee Bars Recipe
The basis of these no bake toffee bars was inspired by an icebox “cake” made by my Granma Vera. It was a family tradition every Christmas and one of the family recipes that I shared in my best-selling cookbook released in 2016. It’s so good and incredibly easy to make and this variation was born out of our love for this flavor combination. They’re truly delicious and super simple to make, they may even cure what ails ya.
How to Make the Best No Bake Chocolate Coconut Toffee Bars Recipe
- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Chocolate Coconut Toffee Bars: Graham cracker crumbs, flaked coconut, chocolate covered toffee bits, milk chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Food processor, measuring cups and spoons, large bowl, small bowl, 13 x 9 inch baking pan, 2 quart heavy bottomed saucepan, non stick spoon or rubber spatula for stirring,
- For this recipe, you do toast the coconut in the oven for added depth of flavor. Otherwise, these bars are no bake.
- It’s important to note that this recipe uses sweetened condensed milk not evaporated milk. They aren’t interchangeable in recipes and evaporated milk won’t work for these toffee bars.
- This recipe calls for chocolate coated English toffee bits. If you prefer, you can also use bits-o-brickle which isn’t chocolate coated. Both feature the toffee flavor needed for this recipe.
- When melting the marshmallows with the sweetened condensed milk and butter, don’t walk away. It’s a sweet mixture so it needs to be stirred it constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
- Once the melted ingredients are added to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl it’s important that you work quickly mixing it all together. It begins to set up fast much like rice krispies treats, if you’ve ever made a batch of those from scratch. It’s just the nature of this sort of dessert bar.
- Spray your hands with cooking spray or use a piece of wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan. This will help prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- These chewy bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.

I do not have a metal pan. Can I use a 9×13 glass baking pan?
Absolutely, no problem at all.
Sure sounds good. May just this in the fall when it’s not so hot in the summer here.
I hope you love them! Please note, while you do toast the coconut in the oven these are no bake otherwise.
You can always toast coconut, nuts, etc. in a skillet on the stovetop instead of the oven – technically no bake in my opinion!
Sure, you can. In fact I have a tutorial for doing so in the recipe index.
