Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
11.5 oz bag chocolate chips (about 1 ½ cups)
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 ⅓ cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (I use dry roasted salted peanuts, but almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts or hazelnuts will also work)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. I like to use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs into a smooth, even layer.
Pour condensed milk evenly over the crust. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut and nuts. Press down gently.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until slightly brown. Cool completely, and then slice into squares.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before slicing and storing. These bars do not need to be refrigerated. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days. To keep them longer, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
