This is the classic recipe you remember with the ooey gooey layers of chocolate, butterscotch and coconut! Try them and you won't be sorry!

Ingredients
- 1 stick of unsalted sweet cream butter
- 10 oz Graham cracker crumbs about ⅔ of a bag
- 1 oz Bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips I used Ghiradelli here - but any are fine
- 1 oz bag of butterscotch chips
- 1 ¼ Cups shredded coconut
- 1 ¼ Cups Chopped Pecans
- 1 oz Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
- A sprinkle of Kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Line a 9x13 baking dish with aluminum foil running one way and then line it with foil going the other way so that the foil forms a cross. Leave extra foil over the edges (roll it up) and then will form something that you can remove the entire pan of treats with.
- Place your 9x13 oven proof baking dish in the oven (with the foil in it) and with the stick of butter in the pan. Allow the butter to melt (about 5 minutes)
- When butter is just melted, remove from the oven and spread the graham cracker crumbs across the bottom of the pan and smooth with a rubber spatula.
- Pour on the chocolate chips followed by the butterscotch chips. Do not bother to spread them out - just sprinkle evenly over the top as best you can.
- Sprinkle the coconut over the chips followed by the pecans. Do not bother to spread them out - just sprinkle evenly over the top as best you can.
- Pour the can of condensed sweetened milk over the top. Do not bother to spread it out - just pour evenly over the top as best you can.
- Just using your fingers, sprinkle a light sprinkle of Kosher salt over the top.
- Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until the milk is bubbling up through and the coconut has begun to brown slightly.
- Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before trying to cut.
- When cooled, cut into very small pieces. Place in small cupcake papers for easy serving.
Notes
- I made these OLD FASHIONED SEVEN LAYER BARS using the already crushed graham cracker crumbs that you can buy in your baking aisle - because, frankly, why crush them if you can buy them already crushed? But if you really want to crush a box, be my guest. Just use the same weight measurement.
- I know I say this almost every single post - but use real butter please - you won’t be disappointed. Believe me, you won’t save any fat or calories by using margarine - I will laugh if you even ask me. Lol.
- So - coconut is a thing with a lot of people. If you are totally against it - then leave it off. It adds some color and fluff to the recipe but isn’t totally necessary.
- I bake mine in a 9x9 pan - I like mine thick - but then this means you have to cut them even smaller. You can make this same recipe in a 9x13 pan and they will be a little thinner - just adjust your baking time.
- I like to cut mine the same size as a small cupcake wrapper and then present them in those. These are sticky - just saying. The cupcake wrapper helps to prevent sticky fingers.
