In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, chocolate pieces, and flaked coconut. -

Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the dry ingredients, blending until well combined. -
Prepare Pan:
Grease a square pan and line the bottom with wax paper. Grease the pan again to ensure easy removal of the brownies later. -

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
- These brownies are especially delicious when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a decadent dessert experience.
