Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 15–16 full sheets)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • ¾ cup pecans (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 ⅔ cups sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Crust:
    Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Stir the brown sugar into the graham cracker crumbs and set aside.
  3. Melt the Butter:
    Place the ½ cup of butter in an 8×8-inch baking pan. Heat the pan in the oven until the butter is completely melted.
  4. Layer the Crust:
    Remove the pan from the oven and evenly spread the graham cracker and brown sugar mixture over the melted butter. Press down gently to form a crust.
  5. Add the Layers:
    In layers, sprinkle the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans over the crust.
  6. Drizzle the Sweetened Condensed Milk:
    Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, ensuring it covers all the layers.
  7. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly browned and the edges are golden.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This ensures clean, neat slices.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Variations: Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds, or use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Make Ahead: These bars can be made a day in advance and stored covered at room temperature.
