Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, using a flat-bottomed cup or your hands to ensure a compact and sturdy layer.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove it and let it cool slightly while preparing the toppings.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by the butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.
Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered toppings, ensuring you cover the entire surface for even binding.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the condensed milk is bubbly.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For easier cutting, refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour after cooling.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or as desired, and serve.
