Place chocolate and 6 TBL butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a pan of simmering water. Stir until mixture is melted and smooth...remove from heat and cool slightly. In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup of flour and the salt. In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs and 1 cup brown sugar at medium speed until well blended. At low speed, beat in chocolate/butter mixture with 1 tsp vanilla. Add flour mixture, beating until well mixed. Stir in 1.5 cups coconut and 1.5 cups pecans. Spread batter over baked crust. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out with moist crumbs attached. Top of bars may crack on edges. Cool completely on a wire rack. In a medium saucepan, whisk cream, sugar, 1 egg and 1 TBL butter. Cook over medium heat until bubbles form on outside edge. Reduce heat to low and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes more. Stir in 1.5 cups coconut, 1.5 cups pecans and 1 tsp vanilla. Spread mixture over cooled bars. Let cool completely. Lift bars from pan using foil edge. Cut into 16 pieces and enjoy!
