How to Make 5 Star Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
  3. Add the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  6. While the crust is baking, prepare the icing: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate bars and vegetable oil.
  7. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  8. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the baked crust and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set, before cutting into squares.
  10. Store leftover bars in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
