Ingredients
Crust
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the magic bars.
- Melt Butter and Prepare Pan: Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave, then pour the melted butter into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.
- Add Graham Cracker Crumbs and Coconut: Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted butter, followed by an even layer of shredded sweetened coconut on top of the crumbs.
- Add Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips: Sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips evenly over the coconut layer to create the next delicious layer.
- Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk and Add Pecans: Pour the entire 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chips, then sprinkle chopped pecans evenly on top.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until the edges are golden and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into 24 squares and serve.
Notes
- Ensure that the butter is fully melted before spreading to achieve an even crust.
- Let the bars cool completely to allow them to set properly for clean cutting.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
