Base

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 tsp kosher salt

For the base, in a large bowl, mix the butter, graham cracker crumbs, and salt. Transfer the mixture to a 9- x 13-inch baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Pack the base down tightly!

 

 

Topping

2 cups shredded coconut, shredded
1 2/3 cups chocolate chips
2 cups pecan halves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk

For the topping, evenly spread 1/2 cup coconut over the base.

Follow with all of the chocolate chips,  pecans,  and  salt. Finish  by sprinkling  the  remainder  of  the coconut overtop.

Slowly and evenly, pour the two cans of condensed milk all over, making sure you get every last drop out.

Preheat your oven to 325°F.

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven,  then  rotate the  dish  and  bake for another  15  to 20  minutes  until the  top  is  golden  and  bubbling.

Let cool fully before slicing into

12 bars and serving.
