Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Layers

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup mini Reese’s cups, chopped
  • 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides to lift bars out easily later.
  2. Make Crust: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then pour evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the butter and press firmly to form a tight, even crust.
  3. Add Layered Ingredients: Evenly sprinkle peanut butter chips and semi sweet chocolate chips over the crust. Then scatter chopped mini Reese’s cups and chopped pecans on top.
  4. Pour Condensed Milk and Add Coconut: Carefully pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over all the layered ingredients, scraping the can to get it all out. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top and gently press down so it adheres to the condensed milk.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 23 minutes, or until the coconut turns light golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool for about 10 minutes, then lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Pressing the crust firmly helps it hold together better when slicing.
  • Using parchment paper with overhang makes removing the bars from the pan easier.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans and Reese’s cups that contain peanuts.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
