01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks. Next, spread the coconut flakes out on a baking sheet without greasing it. Pop the coconut into the oven and toast it, giving it a good stir every few minutes, until it turns golden and smells toasty—this usually takes about 10 minutes.

Step 2
While the coconut is toasting, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, flour, corn syrup, brown sugar, 1/4 cup of butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Once the coconut is ready and cooled a bit, fold it into the mixture. Pour this batter into your greased baking dish and bake for about 25 to 35 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and it feels set. Let it cool completely once it’s out of the oven.

Step 3
For the frosting, melt the chocolate chips and milk gently over simmering water, stirring often and scraping the sides so nothing burns. Then stir in the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until everything is smooth and glossy. Spread this rich frosting over your cooled bars, then pop them in the fridge for about half an hour to let the frosting set before slicing and serving.
