   Line bottom and 2 opposite sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with a sheet of wax paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides.

2. 2

   Mix together flaked and dried coconut and condensed milk with your fingertips until combined well, then firmly press into pan in an even layer with offset spatula. Chill, uncovered, 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water or in top of a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Spread chocolate evenly over coconut layer with offset spatula and chill until firm, 5 to 7 minutes.
