Ingredients

• 2 cups (crushed) Graham crackers
• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until well combined and the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut evenly over the condensed milk layer, pressing them lightly into the mixture with the back of a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are set.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. For cleaner slices, refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour before cutting.

Step 8

Once cooled and firm, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
