• 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut, divided
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Preparing the Crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
   
   
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

Building the Magic:

4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
   
   
5. Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut over the condensed milk.
6. Next, add a layer of semisweet chocolate chips.
   
   
7. Top the chocolate chips with a layer of white chocolate chips.
8. Finally, sprinkle the remaining coconut and pastel M&Ms over the top.

Baking and Enjoying:

9. Bake the magic bars for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips and Tricks:

• For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the crust.
• Don’t have pastel M&Ms? Use any colorful candies you have on hand.
• To add a fun textural twist, sprinkle some chopped nuts or pretzels on top before baking.
• These bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
