Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • 2
    If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate into 2 rectangles. Place lengthwise in pan. Press in bottom and 1/2 inch up sides to form crust, pressing edges and perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 2 rectangles. Place lengthwise in pan. Press in bottom and 1/2 inch up sides to form crust.
  • 3
    Sprinkle coconut evenly over crust. In medium bowl, mix condensed milk and almond extract; drizzle over coconut.
  • 4
    Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and filling is set. Cool in pan on cooling rack 15 minutes.
  • 5
    In 1-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently. Stir in peanut butter. Spread chocolate mixture over bars; sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Peanut butter subtly flavors the chocolate topping on these bars; more important, it adds creamy texture and keeps the chocolate from hardening.
