Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10-11 graham crackers)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (can substitute milk chocolate chips if preferred)
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper, lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside.

  2. Stir together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until thoroughly combined. Press mixture into the bottom of the parchment-lined 9x13 pan.

  3. Evenly sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the crust to make layers. Start with chocolate chips and follow with butterscotch chips, coconut flakes, and pecans (or walnuts).

  4. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top, making sure to reach the edges.

  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and middle is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  1. It takes a while to cool completely at room temperature (before cutting), so I usually put mine in the fridge to speed up the process. 
  2. Store, covered for up to 3 days. They will stay fresh for much longer if kept in the refrigerator. Store for up to 3 months in the freezer.
