Caramel Dream Bars

Here's a sweet treat from my dear friend Molly. These are AMAZING! You won't be disappointed!
Base:
1 c. self rising flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. Sweetened coconut flakes
8 Tbsp. butter

Filling:
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp. light Karo syrup
2 Tbsp. butter

Topping:
5 oz. milk or dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine flour, brown sugar, coconut, and 8 Tbsp. butter to create the base, mix well and press into a greased 11X7 baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool.

Combine condensed milk, syrup, and 2 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until boiling, reduce heat to low and stir constantly for 5 minutes. Pour over the base and bake for a further 10 minutes. COOL COMPLETELY!

Melt chocolate chips according to package directions and spread on top of filling. Refrigerate until set.
Cut into squares using a hot knife.
