Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
Layers
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1â…“ cup flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal of bars.
- Make Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted salted butter. Press this mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Evenly drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the graham cracker crust, ensuring full coverage.
- Layer Remaining Ingredients: In the order listed, sprinkle butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, flaked coconut, and chopped pecans evenly over the condensed milk layer. Gently press the layers down with a fork to ensure they stick together.
- Bake: Bake the assembled bars in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top turns lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Cut: While still warm, loosen the edges of the bars from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 24 squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cuts.
- Pressing the layers gently helps the bars hold together after baking.
- Store bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans and add extra coconut or chocolate chips.
- These bars can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for about a week.
