Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10–12 full sheets)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsalted butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Drizzle

  • 1 can (14 oz or 396 g) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the bars evenly.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, which will make it easier to remove the bars after baking.
  3. Make Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand, indicating that the crumbs are evenly coated.
  4. Form Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even layer that will act as the base of the bars.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the crust to create a rich chocolate layer.
  6. Add Coconut and Nuts: Scatter the sweetened shredded coconut and your choice of chopped nuts over the chocolate layer for added texture and flavor.
  7. Add Butterscotch Chips: Sprinkle butterscotch chips over the other toppings, adding a sweet and buttery contrast.
  8. Drizzle Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire surface, ensuring a creamy, gooey finish that binds all the layers together.
  9. Spread Condensed Milk: Gently spread the condensed milk to cover all corners for an even distribution during baking.
  10. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges turn golden brown, indicating the bars are cooked through.
  11. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes to allow the bars to set.
  12. Slice and Serve: Using the parchment paper as a sling, lift the bars out of the pan and slice them into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal of bars.
  • Feel free to substitute nuts to your preference or omit them for a nut-free version.
  • The bars will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For more gooey bars, reduce baking time slightly; for firmer bars, bake a few minutes longer.
  • Allow bars to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
