# Steps to Follow:

Spread the chocolate chips/chunks, toffee bits and coconut evenly onto the crust. Pour the peanut butter/condensed milk mixture over the top. Sprinkle with M&Ms.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting.

For presentation, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1/2 tbsp of vegetable oil in the microwave. Heat for 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted. Using a fork, drizzle the chocolate over the top of the bars and chill for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
