How to Make Susie's Mounds Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut and 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk. Mix well.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the baked graham cracker crust.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly browned and set.
While the coconut layer is baking, combine 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl or heavy saucepan.
Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter, stirring frequently, until smooth. (Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.)
Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the warm coconut layer.
Lightly dust the top with finely ground graham cracker crumbs (about ¼ cup).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely hardened.
Once hardened, let the bars sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cutting into small squares. Enjoy!
