Recipe for "coco-chips"

NAME

     COCO-CHIPS - A nicely fattening combination of  coconut  and
     chocolate chips
     This comes from Mom.  (She doesn't know where  she  got  it;
     she  memorized  it  years ago and lost the original recipe.)
     It's always been a favorite with us kids, and  last  time  I
     was home she gave me the recipe.  It's so simple that even a
     complete clutz like myself was able to make it perfectly the
     first time.

INGREDIENTS (One batch)

     100 g     margarine (one stick)
     100 g     graham cracker crumbs
     75 g      shredded coconut
     225 g     chocolate chips
     400 ml    sweetened condensed milk (1 can)

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Melt the margarine in a 22 x 33-cm  pan.   Combine
               with  graham  cracker  crumbs and spread evenly on
               bottom of pan.
          (2)  Sprinkle coconut evenly over crumbs.
          (3)  Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over coconut.
          (4)  Pour condensed milk evenly over everything.
          (5)  Bake for 30 minutes at 175 deg. C.
          (6)  Let cool for a bit.  Cut into squares and enjoy.

NOTES

     Mom insists on using ``Borden Eagle Brand''  sweetened  con-
     densed milk.  Don't ask me why.

RATING

     Difficulty:  trivial.   Time:  5  minutes  preparation,   30
     minutes cooking.  Precision: No need to measure.
