Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the crust, followed by an even layer of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped nuts.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the layers, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.

Finally, once cooled, slice the bars into desired sizes and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter the Crust Evenly 🧈
Melt your butter and mix thoroughly with graham cracker crumbs, then press firmly into the pan using the bottom of a measuring cup for a compact, golden crust that won't crumble when cutting.
Layer in Correct Order ⚖️
Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over all dry ingredients before baking to ensure it soaks through each layer and binds everything together, preventing a dry finished product.
Toast Nuts First 🌰
Lightly toast your nuts at 325°F for 5-7 minutes before layering to intensify their flavor and add crunch that won't soften during baking.
Cool Completely Before Cutting ❄️
Allow bars to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting with a hot, wet knife for clean edges and perfectly intact layers.
Use Parchment Paper Overhang 📄
Line your pan with parchment paper extending beyond the edges, allowing you to lift the entire baked sheet out and cut bars more precisely without waste.
