Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter melted, plus more if needed
  • 1 12 oz package chocolate chips
  • 1 14 oz package flaked coconut
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk regular or fat free

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Put the graham cracker crumbs in a 9 by 13 baking pan and slowly add the melted butter, mixing as you go. Add a little more butter if needed to hold the crumbs together.
  3. Press the crust firmly and evenly over the entire bottom of the pan.
  4. Sprinkle an even layer of chocolate chips over the crust, followed by a layer of coconut flakes.
  5. Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, covering as much of the surface as you can.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until nicely browned on top.
  7. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
