Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the graham cracker crumbs until well combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by the shredded coconut, and then the chopped nuts.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire surface, ensuring all the layers are moistened.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the top begins to set.
Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
Slice into 16 squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
