Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter completely over low heat. Add the granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the graham cracker crumbs. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and form a sand-like consistency.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a firm base.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker base, spreading it out gently with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the sweetened condensed milk layer. If using, also sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped nuts on top.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for at least 1-2 hours (this helps them set).
Once cooled, slice into bars or squares of your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
