2cupsgraham cracker crumbs
1/3cupbutter
3tbspsugar
1cupchopped pecans
1cupsemisweet chocolate chips
2/3cupsweetened flaked coconut
1(14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Add the graham cracker crumbs to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the butter to a microwave-safe dish and heat on HIGH for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs. Add the sugar and stir it all together with a fork until the crumbs are all evenly coated in butter.
Add the crumbs to the baking pan and smooth them out into an even layer with the back of a cooking spoon. Use the bottom of your measuring cup to firmly press them into place. Bake for 8 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and then sprinkle the pecans, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut evenly over the bars. Pour the entire can of the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
Bake for an additional 20 - 25 minutes or until the bars are toasted and bubbly. Let cool completely and then cut into bars.
Recipe Notes
These bars are best the day they've been made but can be made a head by one day. Just store them in an airtight container overnight and cut them into bars before serving.
