1 ½ cup fine graham cracker crumbs
½ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt, separated
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not to be confused with evaporated milk)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Preheat the oven to 350° and have ready a greased 8"x8" baking dish.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a ½ teaspoon salt. Transfer to the baking dish and press firmly across the bottom.
Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the crust and sprinkle a ¼ teaspoon of salt across the top.
Scatter chocolate chips across the dish, followed by the coconut. Use the tines of a fork to gently press the toppings into the condensed milk.
Bake for 28-30 minutes, until the coconut is tinging golden-brown across the top. Remove from the oven and run a sharp knife along the edges of the dish.
Allow to cool completely -- 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cut into 12 bars or 16 squares, serve and enjoy!

The crust will taste salty before baking.
