Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture 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

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, using a spatula to spread it if necessary.

Step 5

Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk layer.

Step 6

Add a layer of shredded sweetened coconut, spreading it evenly over the chocolate chips.

Step 7

Top with chopped nuts, ensuring they are distributed evenly over the coconut layer.

Step 8

Gently press down on the layers using the back of a spatula or your hands to help them stick together.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the layers are set.

Step 10

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, cut the cookie bars into squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
