Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a glass baking dish, reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, pour the melted butter and evenly sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the top. Press the crumbs down gently to form a firm crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly across the condensed milk layer.
Add a layer of butterscotch chips, spreading them out evenly as well.
Sprinkle the shredded sweetened coconut evenly over the butterscotch chip layer.
Finally, top with an even layer of chopped nuts to complete the seven layers.
Gently press the top layers down with the back of a spatula to help them adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are lightly toasted.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely before cutting into bars.
Once cooled, slice into 12 bars (or smaller servings if desired) and enjoy!
