Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (200g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), melted
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 396g)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (170g)
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips (170g), optional
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (85g), sweetened or unsweetened
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (125g), such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (200g) of graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup (113g) of melted butter. Stir until fully combined and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your baking dish to form an even layer.
  3. Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 396g) over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the surface.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup (170g) of semisweet chocolate chips over the condensed milk layer. Follow with 1 cup (170g) of butterscotch chips (if using), 1 cup (85g) of shredded coconut, and 1 cup (125g) of chopped nuts. Gently press down on the toppings to ensure they adhere to the condensed milk.
  5. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the top to balance out the sweetness.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares or rectangles. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges if needed.

Notes

[‘For even layers, press down the graham cracker crust tightly.’, ‘Use parchment paper for easy removal.’, ‘Let the bars cool completely before cutting for clean edges.’, ‘Customize the toppings with your favorite candy pieces or dried fruit.’]
