Directions

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.

Expert Tips

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