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!

Gluten Free Five Layer Bars with Almonds and Chocolate

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!
