Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Base
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
    Pour melted butter evenly across the bottom of the pan.
    Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the butter and press gently to form a solid crust.
  • Layer the Goodies
    Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
    Add a layer of butterscotch chips.
    Spread chopped walnuts or pecans on top.
    Finish with shredded coconut, evenly distributed.
  • Pour the Magic
    Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over all the layers, covering most of the toppings.
    This binds everything together and gives the bars their signature gooey texture.
  • Bake and Cool
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and bubbling.
    Allow bars to cool completely in the pan.
    For cleaner slices, chill in the fridge for about 1 hour before cutting.

Notes

  • Freezing: Bars freeze well for up to 2 months; separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Baking tip: Avoid overbaking—bars should be lightly golden and bubbly on top; they firm as they cool.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve warm with ice cream, drizzle with chocolate, or enjoy as-is for a classic treat.
