Ingredients

1 ⅔ cup cinnamon graham cracker crumbs
¾ cup salted butter melted
1 ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sweetened coconut shreds
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray the sides and bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with butter until all the crumbs are saturated and form a dough-like consistency. Press the dough into the baking dish to form an even layer. Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press it down firmly.
Layer the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, nuts, and coconut over the crust in even layers. (Note: Each ingredient will not cover the whole crust, that’s ok! They will melt together.)
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top and then spread it over the whole top of the whole dish with a spatula or spoon. Then sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
Bake for 20 minutes uncovered or until the edges are golden brown and the center is hot with candy melted.
Cool completely and then cut into 12 even squares to serve. You can also cut them smaller for bite size treats!

Notes

Try parchment paper: Line the baking dish with parchment paper so you can easily lift the bars out for slicing.

Avoid overbaking: It’s fine if the bars are slightly soft in the center. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.

Don’t slice while hot: Allow the magic coconut bars to cool and set completely before slicing to prevent them from falling apart.
