Ingredients
For the crust
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
For the layers
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cups butterscotch chips

- 1 cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or your favorite nuts
- 1 pinch salt to enhance the flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are thoroughly coated. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layering
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
- Layer the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and nuts over the milk. Distribute each layer as evenly as possible.
Baking
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the center is bubbly.
Cooling and Serving
- Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut them into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
For a vegan variant, substitute dairy-free chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container for up to five days at room temperature or refrigerate for two weeks. Freeze wrapped individually for longer storage.
