Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
Place the stick of unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the oven for a few minutes to melt the butter completely.
Remove the dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the crumbs firmly into the butter to form an even crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring complete coverage.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk layer.
Next, evenly distribute the butterscotch chips over the chocolate chips.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top, followed by the chopped nuts.
Gently press down on the layers with a spatula to compact everything slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the coconut is lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish.
Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
