Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
Remove the crust from the oven and pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the baked crust, spreading with a spatula as needed.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts (or pecans) and shredded coconut evenly over the chocolate layer, pressing gently so they adhere.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the coconut is lightly toasted.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
