Apricot Bars

This is a recipe that I clipped from in 1992 and made for years until I lost the clipping :(. I found it stuffed in a cookbook this morning. It uses condensed milk and apricots and coconut, some of my many favorite treats. I also have used a 6 ounce package of fruit bits instead of the apricots.
