In a large mixing bowl cream together, butter, sugar.  Add flour, salt, mix well.  Should resemble large crumbs.  Press dough mixture into a 9x13 greased pan.  Bake for 8 minutes.

Once dough is cooked set aside and in a large bowl mix together, sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and vanilla.  Pour mixture onto cooked dough and bake for 20-25 minutes.  Coconut will start to brown on top.  Once cooked,  evenly spread chocolate chips on top and put back into oven just long enough to melt the chocolate.  Spread once melted and let cool for 1 hour before serving.
