If I could I would give this 3.5 stars. The recipe is basically a shortbread crust which is baked first and then topped with a coconut and condensed milk topping (with other ingredients of course).
The recipe calls for baking 30 minutes after the topping is added which seemed too long to me. I checked after 20 minutes and the topping was getting quite brown so I pulled it out.
The bars are very moist with a nice coconut flavor. I think they could be improved with the addition of coconut extract instead of vanilla (which I didn't think of until they were done). We would also have liked them to be a bit more "solid" in the middle.
All in all, if you like coconut you'd like these bars. They're simple to make and pretty tasty. The recipe says they improve over time so I'll see how they taste tomorrow.
