Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
Melt 1/2 cup butter and mix in chocolate chip cookie crumbs and sugar.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 10 minutes. While the bottom layer is baking, mix together the sweetened milk, coconut, and vanilla extract.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the previously baked chocolate cookie dough.
Coconut Bounty Cookie Bars, second bake.
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Be careful not to bake for too long and the cookie bars will become too dry. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, melt the chocolate chips and butter (or fresh cream).
Spread evenly over the cooled coconut layer and let stand until chocolate hardens, about 1 hour.
Cut into squares and enjoy.
