Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coconut
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 can (8 count) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescents
1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

Steps

1

Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, coconut, brown sugar and pecans. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside.
2

Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Place in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan; gently press dough to cover bottom of pan. Firmly press perforations to seal.
3

Pour condensed milk evenly over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle coconut mixture over condensed milk; press in lightly.
4

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.
