Ingredients

  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup shredded coconut - unsweetened or sweetened are both fine
  • 1/4 cup chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Whisk egg whites to form soft peaks.
  • In a small sauce pan, add corn syrup, water, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  • Cook the mixture to the soft ball stage. (When a small spoon full of the hot syrup is dropped into a glass of ice water it should form a soft ball when touched and that means it's to that point.)
  • Pour hot syrup to the side of a bowl with the egg whites in it while whisking slowly.
  • Whisk the mixture for 4 minutes so the egg whites get cooked and it forms medium to firm peaks.
  • Fold in the macadamia nuts and coconut and dump out onto a piece of parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of nut mixture.
  • Sprinkle with shredded coconut.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes. watch tops so coconut doesn't burn, if you need to place tin foil over tops to prevent over browning then do so.
  • Allow bars to cool.
  • Cut into bars and serve.
  • Save bars in the fridge to lengthen there shelf life.
