Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened works fine)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray a little nonstick cooking spray on the parchment paper.
- In a medium size bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs and use a fork to combine well.
- Add the graham cracker mixture to the pan and press firmly to form the crust.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by the butterscotch chips, and the pecans.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the can of sweetened condensed milk and gently stir. Drizzle the milk all over the top of the layers.
- Lastly, sprinkle the shredded coconut over the entire mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bars are golden brown.
- Cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- I like to add the coconut last so it gets toasted.
- Using the condensed milk on the top (instead of over the graham cracker layer) binds everything together well.
- You can swap out other flavors of chips for different variations. White chocolate chips and peanut butter chips are great options.
- Add pretzel pieces for another variation.
- Store layered with parchment paper in an airtight container. You can freeze these.
