very good and easy recipe to put together. I did as others suggested and sprinkled crust with the coconut then added the SCM. After melting the chocolate in the microwave I put in the freezer for about 30 min. They cut beautifully and tastd great. Thanks for the recipe!!!

These are excellent! I have a recipe almost identical to this, the only minor differences are that mine calls for 1/2 c.sugar and then 2 T. peanut butter with the chocolate chip which also may help with the chocolate being softer. They are one of my families favorite bars! I also have a hard time spreading the coconut so I will try sprinkling the coconut and pouring the milk over next time! Good idea, Thanks!

OMG these are awesome! I made them for a family get together, and everyone loved them and wanted the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly as written except that I made them in a 7 X 11 pan, which worked out great, they were nice a thick. VERY yummy!

I thought these were just ok. They were a little dry and lacked filling so I think they could use extra sweetened condensed milk and some extra coconut as well.

This is a great recipe, very easy to make. They are truly delicious. My recommendation for the coconut is to put the coconut and milk together in a bowl and then microwave it for about a minute, stir together and then spread over the coconut and bake! These were yummy but very rich!

Great concept - what's not to love about graham crackers, coconut, and chocolate - but these just didn't work for me. The crust didn't have enough butter to really firm up, it was very crumbly. This made it hard to spread the very sticky filling. I also think milk chocolate would have made a better choice for the top layer. Again, the crust was so crumbly that the bars didn't cut neatly. I won't bother to make these again.

Scrumptious! I whipped these up super fast and they are so so yummy! Super easy to make, taste good when they're either warm (but you can't taste the coconut as much) but even better when they're refrigerated. Definitely going in my personal cookbook!

Made these in an 11x7 pan instead of the 9x13 and I had no problem with these sticking together. They are delicious!! Made no changes at all except pan size. I did allow the chips to melt on top of the bars after I removed them from the oven and then spread that layer. After the pan cooled I also stuck it in the freezer to "set up" the chocolate quicker. Family loved these. Thanks!

I LOVED these. One tip I have is to take the coconut mixture out before the 15 minutes and then put all the chocolate chips all over the top, put back in the oven, and then take out and spread the melted chocolate over the bars.

Really good, and oh so easy, BUT I agree with other reviewers that you need a little more coconut mixture - I used 2 cups but I'd say a good 1/2-cup to 3/4 cup more would have been perfect, and you probably wouldn't have to increase the sweetened-condensed milk at all. I mixed the graham crust ingredients in my food processor, getting a pretty fine crumb, and the crust came out like a crisp, delicious cookie, holding together perfectly. I used semi-sweet, but this would work with any chocolate - semi-sweet, bittersweet, milk chocolate - depending on your taste preference. Thanks for sharing!

Great! I added 2 2/3 cups of coconut and used milk chocolate chips because I think that taste much better than semi-sweet chocolate. If you have lumps in the chocolate it is either because you let it cool and you need to slightly re-heat or you over-heated it. I highly suggest using Hersheys milk chocolate in the form of either chocolate chips, or candy bars. I never had any problems spreading the coconut over the bottom layer. I can see where it would break, but try to pour the mixture all over as best as possible and not just in the center. Spread is gently and carefully. Best served cold or cool.

Very good, very easy. I made a few changes. I used dark chocolate chips, added some crushed pretzels to the crust and, like others, poured the milk over the coconut without mixing it together first. It turned out perfect. The pretzels in the crust give it a little crunch and a dash of saltiness.

These are very similar to the Seven Layer Bars but without the nuts. You difinitely need a "sweet tooth" to eat these. I sprinkled the coconut over the top crust and then poured the condensed milk on top of the coconut as suggested by others, worked out fine. Will be serving these tomorrow, will update with people's opinions, one who will be my brother who loves Mounds candy bars. These were a huge hit at the christening. Thumbs up from here on this one

Got rave reviews!! I added more of the coconut mixture - it was about not quite doubled - I'd say more like one and a half to one and 3/4 of what the recipe called for. It completely covered the graham crust, no trouble spreading at all if you are gentle and have more topping to work with! I also used a cup of milk chocolate chips and a cop of semisweet, to get a better flavor balance (and because my dad refuses to eat SS chips) Scored the chocolate for easier cutting, too. But everyone loved it. My dad even requested that I add it to our annual Christmas Cookie List - very high praise indeed!!
