Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1⅓ cups shredded sweetened coconut

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Pour melted butter into the pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over butter and press gently to form a crust.
  3. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
  4. Sprinkle chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, walnuts, and shredded coconut evenly over the top.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and coconut is toasted.
  6. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before slicing for clean layers. Can be stored airtight at room temperature or refrigerated for firmer bars.
