  13. Cool on baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  14. Caramel topping:
  15. Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave-safe bowl with milk and salt.
  16. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the caramel melt.
  17. When smooth, fold in toasted coconut with a spatula.
  18. Put dollops of the topping all over the shortbread base.
  19. Using the spatula, spread topping into an even layer. Let topping set until cooled.
  20. When cooled, cut into 30 bars with a large knife or a pizza cutter.
  21. Once bars are cut, melt chocolate in a small bowl.
  22. Dip the base of each bar into the chocolate and place on a clean piece of parchment or wax paper.
