Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Butter
  • 1 ½ cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 10 oz Sweetened Flaked Coconut (I use just over 2/3's of a 14 oz bag)
  • 1 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 12 oz package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup Creamy Peanut Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add the 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter to a 9x13 baking pan and place in oven to melt. Carefully remove the pan from oven and tilt around to coat. Evenly sprinkle Graham Cracker Crumbs. Allow to soak up melted butter.
  • Top evenly with Sweetened Flaked Coconut, then drizzle the Sweetened Condensed Milk all over the coconut. Place in preheated 350°F oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  • In a microwave heatproof dish, pour in the Chocolate Chips and add the Peanut Butter. Microwave for 1 minute, then check and add 30 seconds more checking until the chocolate is soft. Stir until well blended.
  • Spread Chocolate/Peanut Butter mixture over the warm coconut and spreading to cover evenly.
  • Cool at least 30 minutes. Chill thoroughly before cutting into squares.
  • Garnish as desired with more coconut, crushed peanuts, etc.
