Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn brown. Be careful not to over bake or the cookie bars will be too dry.

When cool, melt together the chocolate chips and butter (or whipping cream).
Spread evenly over the cooled coconut layer and let stand for an hour or so for the chocolate to set.
Cut in squares and enjoy.
