Chocolate Coconut Dream Bars

A couple weeks ago, I posted the Peanut Butter Bars that I made for my brother's graduation party. It seemed only right that I give you another recipe that we made for that particular celebration. 

 There are many similar versions of this recipe with a whole slew of names for them. 
Hello Dolly Bars, Magic Cookie Bars, Seven Layer Bars,  Magic Layer Bars....

I call them Chocolate Coconut Dream Bars.

And, yes, they measure up to their name! You're actually supposed to wait until they're completely cool before cutting them. I got a little anxious to put them in their storage containers (mostly so I wouldn't eat them all!) so they look a little sloppy. If you actually let them cool, they should look a little neater. :)



Ingredients

1/2 c. butter, melted
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. butterscotch chips
1 1/2 c. shredded coconut
1 c. pecan pieces
1 can sweetened condensed milk


Directions

Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and mix well.
Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and butterscotch chips, coconut, and pecans.
Sprinkle over graham cracker crust.
Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Let cool completely before cutting.

Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.


In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and butterscotch chips, coconut, and pecans.

Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.


It will seep in a bit...that's okay! :)


Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.


Let cool completely before cutting.


If you get impatient like me, yours will probably be a little messy like these.
They are still delicious, just not as pretty. Hehe! :)
