2. For filling: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Carefully pour over pecans and coconut, spreading evenly.
3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes more or until filling is set. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine caramels and milk. Cook and stir over medium-low heat just until caramels are melted. Drizzle caramel mixture over filling. Sprinkle with chocolate pieces. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Makes 24 bars.

These are delicious, very rich, and easy to make. I did add extra chocolate chips. However, even though the recipe calls for an ungreased pan, please either grease or use parchment paper. My first batch STUCK to the pan on the bottom and on the sides where the sweetened milk and the caramel mixtures hit the sides.
