Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray for easy removal and cleanup.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Pour the melted butter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter, pressing gently with the back of a spoon to create an even crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, ensuring full coverage.
Evenly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the condensed milk, followed by the butterscotch chips.
Scatter the shredded coconut evenly over the top, then add the chopped pecans or walnuts as the final layer.
Lightly press down on all the layers with a spatula or your hands to ensure they adhere together during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. This may take 1-2 hours.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan, or slice them directly in the pan if you prefer. Cut into 12 even squares or as desired.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
