What you will need:
● 13×9 inch baking pan
● non-stick cooking spray
● 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
● 1/2 cup butter, melted
● 1-14oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
● 2 cups semi-sweet
chocolate chips
● 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
● 1 cup chopped nuts
(walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Make sure to spray the interior sides well.
3. In a medium size bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and mix until well
combined.
4. Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan and gently press to create a crust that covers the entire
bottom of the pan.
5. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crumb crust.
6. Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips, coconut and nuts over the condensed milk layer.
7. Gently press down with a fork.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until beginning to lightly brown.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for approximately 5-10 minutes.
10. Then, while still warm, loosen bars from the side of the pan gently to prevent them from sticking. Cut
into bars. Store tightly covered.
Notes: To make it easier to remove bars from the pan, line the entire pan with foil or parchment paper, using enough that it extends over the sides. Coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray (you don’t have to spray the parchment paper). After baking and bars have cooled, the entire pan of bars can be lifted out of the pan by using the foil or parchment edges.
