1 2/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 2/3 cups (7 ounce package) flaked coconut
1 1/4 cups (14 ounce can) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup red raspberry jam or preserves
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) chopped white chocolate baking bar, melted

Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter in medium bowl. Spread evenly over bottom of 13 x 9-inch pan, pressing to make compact crust. Sprinkle with coconut; pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over coconut.

Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned; cool.

Spread jam over coconut layer; chill for 3 to 4 hours. Sprinkle with walnuts. Drizzle chocolate then white chocolate over top layer to make lacy effect; chill. Cut into 3 x 1 1/2 inch bars.

NOTE: I made these and they were good but much better the next day. If you had some fresh raspberries it would be better because it still did taste like preserves.
