Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F if using a glass dish) to ensure even baking.
Prepare Crust: Pour the melted butter into a 13×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the butter and press down lightly to form an even crust layer.
Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, creating a moist base for the layers to adhere.
Layer Ingredients: Evenly layer the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts on top of the sweetened condensed milk. Gently press down with a fork or spatula to ensure the layers stick together.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbling.
Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly before cutting into 24 bars.

Notes

Swap the butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips for a delicious variation.
For a nut-free version, omit the nuts or replace them with sunflower seeds.
Pressing layers gently helps keep bars intact when cutting.
