Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your baking equipment—a 9x9 inch baking pan and a microwave-safe dish.
  2. Melt the butter in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, then pour it into the greased baking pan.
  3. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter and press down gently to form a crust.
  4. Layer in 1 cup of sweetened flake coconut, followed by 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped pecans, pressing each down.
  5. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk generously over the layers.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining coconut and chocolate chips on top and press down gently.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and slightly golden around the edges.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into 16-18 bars.
