How to Make Chocolate Coconut Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and nuts.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes.
While the chocolate layer bakes, combine the sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut in a bowl.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the partially baked chocolate layer.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
