Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (crushed) Graham crackers
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until well combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut evenly over the condensed milk layer, pressing them lightly into the mixture with the back of a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are set.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. For cleaner slices, refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour before cutting.
Once cooled and firm, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
