Triple Layer Cookie Bars

I don't usually find too many bar cookies/brownies that I haven't already tried, so therefore don't post too many. This recipe was brought to a recipe swap night at church in Pickerington and I thought it was amazing and definitely a recipe keeper.
This is similar to one of my favorites, magic cookie bars, but so much better. It has a definite chocolate flavor and chewy, caramel inside.


1 stick margarine (1/2 cup;)
1 package graham crackers, crushed (1 1/2 cups)
2 cups flaked coconut
1- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1- 12 oz package semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 for glass dish).
In 9x13 pan, melt margarine in oven.
Next, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over margarine. Sprinkle with flaked coconut, then sweetened condensed milk.
Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
In microwave, melt chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring often. Add peanut butter to melted chocolate. Spread evenly over hot coconut layer.
Cool 30 minutes, then chill thoroughly. Cut into bars.
