Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup butterscotch chips (optional)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment or grease well.
- Combine melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press firmly into the pan to form the crust.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips, chopped nuts, coconut, and optional chips in layers over the crust.
- Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbling around the edges.
- Cool completely, then chill at least 1 hour before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Chilling helps the bars firm up for clean slicing.
- Use mini chips or finely chopped nuts for tighter layers and more even bites.
- For extra golden coconut, sprinkle it on top last so it toasts while baking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
