Fudgy Coconut Squares

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup flaked coconut

ICING:

2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.

Combine flour, cocoa and walnuts; add to the creamed mixture.

Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Combine condensed milk and coconut; carefully spread over the hot chocolate layer. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned.

Combine icing ingredients until smooth; spread over warm bars. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before cutting.
