Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• ½ cup salted butter
• 2 cup graham cracker crumbs 16 full graham cracker sheets
• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6 oz butterscotch chips ½ package
• 2 cups shredded coconut
• 1 cup walnuts chopped
• 15 oz sweetened condensed milk

How the cooking goes

1. Warm the oven to 325°F.
2. Warm butter in a microwavable bowl and mix with graham cracker crumbs. Press buttered crumbs into the bottom of a 13”x9”x2” baking dish.
3. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the graham cracker crust followed by the butterscotch chips and shredded coconut.
4. Lastly, sprinkle the nuts over the surface. You prefer fewer nuts, but that is another magical element to these bars: you can easily modify them to your tastes!
5. Pour sweetened condensed milk over entire surface. the only advice here is to keep the can moving so the milk doesn’t pool. You create a pattern like a sine wave and then go back across in the same pattern but filling in the gaps. You apologize for the math analogy…you just couldn’t refrain.
6. Oven-bake at 325°F for 20-30 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Immediately after removing the 7- layer bars from the oven loosen the sides of the bars from the pan, or they will be impossible to remove. Cool on a rack.
7. Once they are completely cooled, cut them into bars with a knife and store in a sealed container.

After it comes off the heat

Let the pan settle before you slice, so the crumb stays together. Cover leftovers once they are cool.
