Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the texture resembles wet sand, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust, followed by the butterscotch chips.
Add a layer of shredded coconut flakes, followed by a layer of chopped nuts. Distribute these layers as evenly as possible.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, ensuring it covers the entire surface. You can use a spatula or spoon to spread it out more evenly if needed.
Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the top and add a few drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
