Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup butter, melted

Layers

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, divided
  • ¾ cup pecans, chopped (optional)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper by cutting two strips: one matching the width and one the length of the pan. This makes removing the bars easier after baking.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir together using a fork until evenly mixed. Press this crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust layer.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Begin layering the bars by sprinkling the white chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by the semi-sweet chocolate chips, then the butterscotch chips. Next, spread half of the shredded coconut evenly on top, and sprinkle the chopped pecans over the coconut if using.
  4. Add Condensed Milk and Coconut: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered ingredients to bind them together. Finally, sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut evenly on top of the condensed milk layer for added texture and flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The bars should be golden around the edges and bubbling slightly. Avoid overbaking to keep the texture gooey and moist.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan, cut into 12 squares, and serve.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans.
  • Press the crust firmly to ensure it holds together well during baking and cutting.
  • Using parchment paper makes removing bars easier and prevents sticking.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • To add variety, try mixing different types of chocolate chips or adding dried fruits.
