Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham crackers (about 10 whole crackers)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk layer, followed by the butterscotch chips.
Evenly distribute the shredded sweetened coconut across the top, then sprinkle the chopped walnuts (or pecans) over the coconut.
Using a spatula or clean hands, gently press down on the layers to help them stick together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours. For quicker cooling, transfer the pan to the refrigerator.
Once cooled, cut into 12 or more bars, depending on your desired size, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
