Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 8x8 inch square baking pan with foil, spray lightly with cooking spray.

Melt chocolate and oil in pan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Whisk together well. Let sit 3 minutes. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Add sugar and vanilla. Fold in salt and flour until combined. Spread half the batter evenly in pan. Sprinkle with almonds, then coconut. Press down carefully. Put remaining batter in zip top plastic bag. Snip off corner of bag. Drizzle remaining batter over the coconut/almond layer. (This ensure more even spreading of the remaining batter.) Smooth carefully with a knife once the batter is drizzled. Bake 20-25 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs. Let cool on cooling rack to room temperature. Then chill for a few hours. Cut into desired size bars. These are good and more gooey just slightly rewarmed but cut better chilled!
