Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Place in ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan; gently press dough to cover bottom of pan. Firmly press perforations to seal. Pour condensed milk evenly over dough to within ½ inch of edges. Sprinkle coconut mixture over condensed milk; press in lightly.

Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown.

Cool. Cut into bars.
