Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until the texture resembles wet sand.

  3. Step 3

    Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Don't stir; let it settle.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts in even layers over the milk.

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 22–25 minutes until the edges are light golden and coconut just starts to brown.

  7. Step 7

    Cool completely in the pan, at least 30 minutes. Cut into 12 bars and serve.
