Chewy layered bars with chocolate, butterscotch, coconut, nuts, and a salted caramel drizzle.
# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Crust
01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
→ Layers
03 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
04 - 1 cup butterscotch chips
05 - 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
06 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
07 - 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
→ Salted Caramel Drizzle
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
09 - 2 tablespoons water
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 1/4 cup heavy cream
12 - 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the baking pan to create an even crust layer.
03 - Evenly distribute chocolate chips over the crust, then repeat with butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts in that order.
04 - Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly across all layered ingredients to bind them together.
05 - Bake the assembled layers for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are golden and center is set. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
06 - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until dissolved, then stop stirring and cook until the mixture turns a deep amber color (approximately 4 to 5 minutes). Remove from heat, whisk in butter, then slowly add heavy cream while whisking continuously. Stir in flaky sea salt. Allow to cool slightly.
07 - Drizzle the cooled caramel over the bars. Let caramel set, then lift bars from the pan using parchment overhang and cut into squares.
