For the Crust:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  4. Fold in shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and melted chocolate until well combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
