Line a 9-inch square pan with foil, letting foil extend above pan on 2 sides. Stir milk and butter in medium-size saucepan over low heat until butter melts.

Using half the vanilla mixture, drop small teaspoonfuls into prepared pan, leaving spaces between each. Sprinkle with half the coconut. Spread chocolate mixture evenly on top, then spoon on remaining vanilla mixture. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Refrigerate at least 8 hours until firm enough to cut. Lift foil by ends to cutting board. Cut fudge in 1-inch squares. Store airtight with waxed paper between layers.
