Ingredients

1 ½ cups (170g) graham cracker crumbs 1 sleeve or 12 crackers
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted 1 stick
1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips
1 cup (114g) chopped pecans or walnuts
1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
1 cup (85g) shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. To get the parchment paper to stick to the pan, butter the bottom and sides of the pan, then press the parchment paper into the pan.
In a small mixing bowl combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press the crumbs into the pan, either using your hands or the bottom of a cup to pack the crust down.
1 1/2 cups (170g) graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and chopped nuts over the crust.
1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips, 1 cup (114g) chopped pecans or walnuts
Evenly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the chips. Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut over the milk, then use a fork to press the coconut into the milk.
1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup (85g) shredded sweetened coconut
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the top is golden in color. Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before slicing.

Notes

Transfer the sweetened condensed milk to a microwave safe bowl and warm it in the microwave. This will help the milk drizzle nice and evenly because it won’t be so thick.
