How to Make Nugart Bars
Step 1: Prep Your Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a square baking pan (8×8 or 9×9) with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and graham cracker crumbs.
- Mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined and form a sticky, cohesive mixture.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Step 4: Cool and Slice
- Allow the Nugart Bars to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper (if used) and slice into bars or squares.
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy these bars on their own as a sweet snack.
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra flair.
