(4 cups) HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips; continue mixing until thoroughly combined. Gradually add eggs, continue to mix until batter comes together, about 2 minutes. Press batter evenly on bottom of prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle remaining 12 oz. (2 cups) HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, HEATH Toffee Bits, walnuts and coconut, in order, over batter. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over top.
