Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups (150g) Graham Cracker Crumbs Finely crushed
  • 0.5 cups (115g) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 1 cup (170g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips High quality
  • 1 cup (170g) Butterscotch Chips Slightly softened when baked
  • 1 cup (110g) Pecans Chunky pieces, tan
  • 1.3 cups (130g) Shredded Coconut Sweetened, to be toasted
  • 14 oz (396g) Sweetened Condensed Milk Ivory-colored, caramelized when baked

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Pan Light-colored metal preferred
  • 1 Parchment Paper To create a sling for easy removal
  • 1 Mixing Bowl Medium size

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a level, golden-brown crust.
Layering
  1. Layer the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped pecans evenly over the crust.
  2. Top with shredded coconut. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire surface, ensuring it reaches the corners.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the coconut is toasted and the edges are bubbling. Cool completely in the pan for 2 hours before lifting out and cutting into squares.
