Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) e.g., walnuts or pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted butter until well mixed.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
  4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut on top of the milk layer.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden.
  7. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to prevent them from falling apart. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for two weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
