  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes (includes cooling)
  • Yield: 16 bars

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Heath Bar bits
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • 1 cup M & Ms
  • 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press firmly into the bottom of the dish to form the crust.
  3. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by Heath Bar bits, chopped nuts, and M & Ms.
  4. Top with shredded coconut spread evenly across the surface.
  5. Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire pan, ensuring even coverage.

  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Cool completely before cutting for cleaner edges.
  • Customize with different candies, nuts, or chips based on preference.
  • Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleanup.
  • To freeze, wrap individual bars and store for up to 2 months.
