Step 1

Preaheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 13 X 9 inch baking pan, preferably nonstick. Lightly flour the pan, knocking out the excess.

Step 2

Spread the pecans on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven for 7 minutes. Immediately transfer the nuts to a chopping board. Cool slightly, then chop coarsely. Transfer to a medium bowl.

Step 3

Put the coconut into a medium skillet. Toast the coconut over moderate heat, stirring often, until its a light golden in color. Transfer to the bowl with the pecans.

Step 4

Chop the Heath bars coarsely. Set aside in a small bowl.

Step 5

Pour the melted butter into a separate large bowl. Cool slightly, then whisk in the sugars until combined. Whisk in the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Set aside.

Step 6

Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt into separate medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until evenly blended. Add the pecans, coconut, and Heath bars. Stir until evenly blended. Scrape the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly with a large spoon.

Step 7

Bake on the center oven rack for 25 minutes, until the top looks crackly and light golden in color. Do not ocerbake. (if you're not sure whether the bars are done, err on the side of underbaking) Transfer to a rack and cool completely before slicing.
