Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter melted, 1 stick
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk 14-ounce can
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped nuts I used walnuts
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for glass dish). Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray, or make a parchment paper "sling"* to easily lift out the baked cookie.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. NOTE: An offset spatula makes this easy to do.
- Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Press down firmly with a fork (I use the palm of my hand).
- Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
- Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature.
Notes
I like to make a "sling" by layering two pieces of parchment paper, which has been lightly sprayed. This helps the parchment paper to "stick" to the pan. I also leave a couple of inches of overhang. That way, it's easy to lift the baked cookie out of the pan to cool on a rack. That way I can easily cut the bars with a long knife or a bench scraper.
NOTE: You can use butterscotch morsels for a different twist
