Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

1 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes or flaked coconut

1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 13" x 9" baking pan, or line baking pan with parchment paper then grease.

In small bowl, add graham cracker crumbs and butter. Stir mixture until well mixed. Add to baking pan in an even layer. Press mixture, makes sure the bottom of pan is covered. Pour sweetened condensed milk slowly and evenly over mixture. Add chocolate chips in an even layer. Do the same for the coconut and nuts. Using a fork, press firmly on toppings. 

Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking rack. Loosen sides of pan while warm. Cut into bars.

Tip: Walnuts and pecans taste great when you buy halves and chop them for the recipe.
