Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened.

3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes.

4. Beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.

5. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut.

6. Spread the filling over the warm crust.

7. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until the center is just set.

8. Cool the bars completely to room temperature.

9. Spread the caramel sauce or dulce de leche evenly over the cooled filling.

10. Sprinkle the toffee bits across the caramel layer.

11. Melt the milk chocolate chips with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth.

12. Spread the melted chocolate over the top.

13. Finish with toasted coconut flakes, extra toffee bits, and flaky sea salt.

14. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.

Notes

Chill the bars fully before slicing for the cleanest layers.

Use a thick caramel sauce so the toffee layer stays in place.

Wipe the knife between cuts to keep the chocolate topping neat.
