10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.

12. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
13. Slice into bars and serve.
Notes
Chill the bars before slicing to achieve cleaner and neater dessert squares.
Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
