Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 5 ounces graham crackers
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • 14 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
 

  • Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, toast the coconut, stirring occasionally until lightly browned and golden. Remove from heat.
  • Place the graham crackers in a large resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to create multiple sizes of crumbs.
  • Meanwhile, place the sticks of butter into the prepared baking pan and put it in the oven to melt the butter, about 6 minutes. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the oven. Add the graham cracker crumbs and toss lightly with a fork until all the butter is absorbed and the crumbs are evenly distributed over the bottom of the pan.
  • In order, sprinkle the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and the toasted coconut over the graham cracker crumbs. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the entire baking pan.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and cool on a wire rack until room temperature, about 2 hours. Remove bars from the pan using the foil and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars using a sharp knife.
