Ingredients

  • 14 full graham cracker sheets (for about 2 cups of crumbs)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, or grease well.
  • Place the graham crackers in a food processor. Process until you have fine crumbs.

  • Melt the butter, then add the melted butter to the food processor. Pulse a few times until the crumbs are all moist.
    1/2 cup butter
  • Pour the crumbs from the food processor into the prepared baking dish. Press into an even layer in the bottom of the pan.
  • Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the crust. (You want to drizzle it as evenly as possible. It’s hard to spread because it will pick up the crust.)
    1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pecans evenly over the sweetened condensed milk. Then sprinkle the coconut evenly over the top.

  • Bake the bars until the coconut is golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Some people prefer to add the sweetened condensed on top of the coconut instead of on the crust. This will give you a chewier texture.
I cut mine into 24 bars, but they are quite sweet, so feel free to cut them smaller.
