For an even more intense coconut flavor, lightly toast the flaked coconut in a dry skillet before adding it to the filling. Use high-quality chocolate for the topping for the best flavor and melting properties. Dark chocolate adds a sophisticated touch. Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of the bars. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
