Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth it out. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.

Step 5

While the crust is baking, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the baked crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped pecans and shredded coconut evenly over the chocolate layer, gently pressing them into the surface.

Step 8

Bake the bars for an additional 15 minutes, or until the toppings are lightly toasted and the edges are bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan.

Step 10

Slice into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
