Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, flour, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the crust cools, pour 2 cups of chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust. Their heat will begin to melt the chocolate.
Slowly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the melted chocolate layer, spreading it gently with a spatula to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut over the top, pressing lightly to help it adhere to the condensed milk layer.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly toasted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
