Chocolate Coconut Bars

One of the guys I used to work with brought these in to share one day and I absolutely loved them!  The funny thing is I don’t normally like coconut but it’s delicious in these bars.
  • 2 c graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 c melted butter
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 2 c flaked coconut
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 c chopped pecans
  • 1 (7 oz) plain chocolate candy bar
  • 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar.  Press into a greased 9×13″ pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes (slightly less if pan is glass).  Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine coconut, milk and pecans.  Spread over crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  Cool completely.
In small saucepan, melt candy bar and add peanut butter over low heat.  Stir until smooth.  Spread over bars.  Cool.  Cut into squares and enjoy!
