Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounces
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
2. Stir the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt together until evenly moistened.
3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips evenly over the condensed milk.
6. Add the shredded coconut, then sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top.
7. Press the toppings down very gently so they settle into the condensed milk.
8. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the coconut is lightly golden.
9. Cool completely in the pan, then chill briefly for cleaner slices.
10. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cut into 24 squares.
Notes
Cool the bars completely before slicing so the layers set and hold together neatly.
For cleaner cuts, chill the pan for 20 to 30 minutes after the bars cool.
Swap pecans for walnuts, almonds, or extra chocolate chips if you want a different flavor or a nut-free version.
