These taste just like the candy bar! I sometimes add almonds to make it like an Almond Joy. Very Yummy! I don't know exactly how many servings this makes, it depends on the size you would like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter or margarine. Mix and pat into the bottom of one 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes.
- Combine the condensed milk and flaked coconut. Spread over the crust and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes.
- Spread the melted chocolate chips over the top. Let cool and cut into squares.
- I usually sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and put back into the warm oven for a minute or so and then spread it over the bars with a butter knife.
- Sometimes when you cut the bars after the chocolate hardens,the squares don't come out very uniform. Try taking a butter knife while the chocolate is still warm and run it over the bars in the sizes you want, so that when the chocolate does harden the pieces come out better.

Tips:
- Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and eggs. This will help them combine smoothly.
- When measuring flour, use the spoon and level method to prevent overpacking and dense bars.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough bars.
- Press the batter firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bars.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting. This will help them hold their shape and prevent crumbling.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
