How to Make Chocolate Chip Dream Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) melted margarine and 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  4. Pour one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  5. Working in layers, sprinkle evenly: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup shredded coconut, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
  6. Using a spatula or your fingers, gently press down the toppings into the condensed milk layer.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the edges are set.
  8. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. This allows the bars to firm up and makes cutting easier.
