I had something like these in a favorite bagel shop years ago. They had no idea how to make them, what was in them, and they didn't have a name. The girl behind the counter told me "I have no clue, they just come on the truck every week," so I went home and made my version. Since they didn't have a name and a friend of mine always called them Goff Bars they became "Goff Bars."

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These cookie bars are sweet, rich, and decadent. They have a graham cracker crust that's covered with chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and butterscotch chips. Then they're covered with coconut, condensed milk, and slivered almonds. Once baked, they're crunchy and chewy at the same time. They'll satisfy any sweet tooth.

How To Make "goff" bars

  • Melted butter, sugar, and crushed graham crackers in a bowl.
    1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl melt butter in the microwave. Add sugar and crushed graham crackers.
  • Mix.
    2
    Mix.
  • Press crumbs into a baking dish.
    3
    Spray a shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Put the graham cracker mixture in it. Spread evenly and pack down gently.
  • Sprinkle with all the chips.
    4
    Sprinkle all the chips evenly.
  • Cover with coconut.
    5
    Then cover with the coconut.
  • Pour condensed milk over the coconut.
    6
    Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut making sure to coat the entire top.
  • Sprinkle the almonds.
    7
    Sprinkle the almonds on top.
  • Bake until golden brown.
    8
    Bake until golden; about 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cut into small squares.
    9
    Remove and cool until warm to the touch. They need to be cut while warm otherwise you just break off the pieces to serve. I try to cut these about 1" X 1" because they are very rich and a brownie size one is way too much at once.
