How to Make Chewy Chocolate Coconut Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut and 2 cups chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Enjoy your incredibly delicious and chewy chocolate coconut bars!
