1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (3 L) baking pan; set aside. Combine crumbs, melted butter and icing sugar in large bowl. Firmly press crumb mixture on bottom of prepared pan.
2
Stir together sweetened condensed milk, coconut flakes and almonds in large bowl, until well combined. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the coconut mixture over crust; spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until coconut edges just begin to brown; cool to room temperature.
Tip
To toast almonds, heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread almonds in thin layer in shallow baking pan. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Cool completely.
3
Combine chocolate chips and whipping cream in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave on MEDIUM an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Cool until slightly thickened; spread over cooled bars. Sprinkle evenly with white creme chips. Cover and chill for several hours or until thoroughly set. Cut into bars. Reserve leftovers in the refrigerator.
