How to Make Fabulous Sue's Coconut Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine melted margarine and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut over the crumb layer.
Distribute the chopped nuts and mini marshmallows over the coconut.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire surface.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the marshmallows are slightly puffed.
Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled bars.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set completely before cutting into bars.
