How to Make Coconut Macdamia Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Let the crust cool completely.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts. Mix well.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut mixture and spread evenly.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sweetened shredded coconut (optional).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set, before cutting into bars.
