Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 1/3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
1. Set oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 Fahrenheit. Line a 13×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy lifting.
2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully saturated. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. Drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk slowly and evenly over the graham cracker crust.
4. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts evenly across the surface. Do not stir or press the layers down.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut topping has caramelized slightly.
6. Remove the bars from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Allow the bars to cool completely to room temperature (at least 2 hours) before lifting and slicing.
Notes
Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing for clean, professional-looking cuts.
Toast the nuts lightly before adding them for a deeper flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
