Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray, and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated and moist. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Next, drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the coconut layer, ensuring all sections are covered.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the condensed milk layer, followed by the chopped nuts (if using).
Add a pinch of salt evenly across the top of the layers and finish with the vanilla extract drizzled evenly over the ingredients.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature in the pan. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for easier slicing.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into 16 squares or bars, and serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
