Ingredients

• 1/2 cup margarine; melted
• 2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup canned coconut milk; mix before measuring
• 1/4 cup agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

• 1/2 cup walnuts; chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F

Pour margarine into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Swirl the margarine around
until the bottom of the pan is completely coated. Sprinkle graham cracker
crumbs evenly into the pan until the bottom of the pan is completely coated
in crumbs. Pat down lightly with your hands.

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, agave, vanilla, salt and
cornstarch. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut into the pan, then layer chocolate chips and
walnuts. With the palm of your hand. gently pat the top of the cookie pan
so that the chocolate chips cement into the rest of the cookie.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until center looks thick and slightly bubbly with
lightly browned edges. Let cool and then refrigerate for a few hours or
overnight. Using a sharp knife, cut into bar cookies.
