  Almond Macaroon Brownie Bars
  from Betty Crocker Christmas Cookies Dec/Jan 2009

  Makes 48 brownies

  Brownies
  1 box Betty Crocker Original Supreme brownie mix (with chocolate syrup pouch)
  1/4 cup water
  1/3 cup vegetable oil
  3 eggs

  Filling
  3 cups flaked coconut
  1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  Drizzle
  1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil

  Heat oven to 350. Spray bottom of 13×9-inch pan with cooking spray. Make brownie mix as directed on box, using 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup oil, 3 eggs and chocolate syrup pouch. Spread batter in pan. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean.

  Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix filling ingredients. Remove brownies from oven. Carefully spoon and spread filling evenly over brownies. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer (filling will not brown). Cool completely, about 1 hour.

  In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and oil on high for 30 to 40 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds, until chips are melted. Spoon into a resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small tip from corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over filling. For bars, cut 8 rows by 6 rows.
