Ingredients

1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (14 oz) can full-fat sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
pinch sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter. Microwave until melted. Add the graham cracker crumbs and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle layers of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans over the pressed graham cracker crumbs.
Sprinkle half of the coconut over the layers, then pour the sweetened condensed milk over top. Sprinkle the remaining coconut over the condensed milk.
Place in the oven and bake for 22–25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before cutting them into bars.

Notes

To STORE Old-Fashioned 7 Layer Bars, keep them in an airtight container or sealed bag at room temperature for 3–4 days.

For longer storage, FREEZE the bars after they’ve cooled completely. Place them in an airtight bag, stacked with wax or parchment paper between layers, and freeze for up to 3 months. You can enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them thaw in the fridge before serving.
