I make these bars every year for Christmas as they are awesome. I agree that the coconut is hard to spread without breaking the graham cracker crust, but have found a simple solution. As soon as you pull them out of the oven after baking the coconut, I use the flat side of a spoon, sprayed with cooking spray and smooth out the coconut. The coconut mix is now more pliable, now that it is hot. I finish recipe as follows. I even sometimes sprinkle a few slivered almonds on top top make them like Alomnd Joys.

Easy and delicious. I add a bit of green food coloring to the condensed milk and coconut for the Christmas holidays.

Easy, quick recipe that the family loved...I added about a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate chips and microwaved them to make cutting a bit easier later on. Thanks Annie added this one to my recipe box.

Very rich & good. Use more of the coconut mixture, less graham cracker. I made the coconut smooth more easily by layering the coconut first, then slopping the milk over it.

All I can say is WOW! My husband wanted his Mom's Mounds bars - but after tasting these - he will never go back. I added milk to the choc chips and microwaved them which cut down on time on an already quick and easy recipe! LOVED IT!

These bars are delicious! My grandmother has been making them for years and they are a family favorite. I would highly recommend substituting Hershey's chocolate bars for the choc. chips. Not only do they add great flavor, but they create a smooth top on the bars. Add 6 unwrapped bars after they come out of the oven. The bars will naturally melt over the coconut/milk mixture. You can then smooth it out over the top. My mom recommends to score the bars with a sharp knife before they fully set up. This way you can get nice clean slices. Also, I love these bars chilled!

To fix the spreading problem others have mentioned. I put the coconut over the graham base and then poured the milk on top directly from the can. Wait a few mins and it is all mixed. I also added almonds on top and drizzled the chocolate.

Great! I did not add the sugar to the graham cracker crust. I always wonder why the extra sugar when there is already sugar in the graham crumbs. Anyway, it was plenty sweet enough. I also, as suggested by another reviewer, spread the coconut on thop of the hot crust and then poured the condensed milk on top of that and it worked perfectly.

I cut the recipe in half and used and 8 x 8 glass dish. Instead of mixing the coconut and milk, I just sprinkled the coconut on the graham cracker crust after baked. Next I slowly poured the milk over the coconut. The difficult part for me was the chocolate. I don't know if I didn't have enough to pour/spread because I halved the recipe. I ran short and couldn't spread the chocolate easily. These were VERY SWEET! I was craving chocolate and couldn't wait til they were completly cooled. I just took a spoon and had a few bites!! This would be very good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. By the way it DID hit the spot!
