Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • cups graham wafer crumbs
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/3 cup sea salt caramel baking chips
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 – 300 ml can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Position oven rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Line 9” square baking pan with tinfoil, leaving enough foil overhang on sides to grip and lift baked square from pan for easy cutting. Spray lightly with cooking spray, ensuring the sides of the pan are sprayed.

  3. Pour melted butter into pan. Sprinkle evenly with graham wafer crumbs. Do not stir. Add a layer of coconut followed by a layer of chocolate chips. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the chocolate chips. Add layers of butterscotch and sea salt caramel baking chips followed by ½ cup of coconut.
  4. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the square ingredients, ensuring the entire square ingredients are completely covered.
  5. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or just until square is set. Transfer pan to wire cooling rack and let square cool completely (in pan) to room temperature then refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to firm up for easier cutting. Lift square from the pan using the excess foil. Peel away foil and cut square into small pieces. Keep square refrigerated or freeze in an airtight freezer container for longer storage.
