Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 0 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust, followed by the shredded coconut, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 6

Add the chopped pecans (or walnuts) in an even layer on top of the coconut.

Step 7

Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire surface, ensuring it fully covers the layers.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut into 12 bars (or smaller pieces, if desired), 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.
