Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. This should take about 30-45 seconds.
Mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs in a separate bowl until the crumbs are thoroughly coated and resemble damp sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to press it firmly down.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, spreading it to cover the entire layer.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the condensed milk layer.
Add an even layer of shredded coconut on top of the chocolate chips.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped nuts over the coconut layer.
Gently press down on the layers with the back of a spatula or your hands to ensure everything sticks together while baking.
Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the coconut is toasted.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, about 1-2 hours. This will allow the layers to set.
Once cool, cut the bars into 12 equal pieces (or smaller, if desired) and serve.
