Almond & Chocolate Five Layer Bars

These are a fun alternative to a typical five layer bar.  This is a nice recipe when you want something sweet with a bit of coconut, chocolate and almond all thrown together.   These are also really easy to whip together, and a perfect recipe for kids to be able to put together, since they'll love putting on all the layers of toppings.  Enjoy!

Almond & Chocolate Five Layer Bars
Makes a 9" x 13" pan

Preheat oven to 350F.

Mix together in a medium-sized bowl:
~2 cups brown rice cereal, half crushed
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar

Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. (You can line the pan with parchment paper, if desired, for easier cutting and clean-up).


Sprinkle overtop: 
1/2 - 1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
1 cup mix of semi-sweet & milk chocolate chips
Toppings happily spread by my daughter.
Pour over-top as evenly as possible:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes, until lightly browned around edges.  Cool and enjoy!
