Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on either side. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the pan with baking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until all crumbs are moistened and when pinched together, it comes together and doesn't crumble. Press graham cracker crumbs into bottom of prepared baking pan then evenly sprinkle coconut flakes on top then drizzle the sweetened condensed milk all over the coconut flakes. Bake for 20 minutes. Gently spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the coconut mixture using an offset spatula to help. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips on top. Let cool to room temperature then cut into bars.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
For clean, straight cuts, I placed my bars in the fridge overnight and used a warm knife (by running it under hot water) to cut the bars into squares. For a less sweetened bar, I use unsweetened coconut.
