Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup toasted pecans chopped
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grab a 9×13 baking dish and line with parchment paper or cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine.
Press into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking sheet.
Top with coconut, both kinds of chocolate chips, and toasted pecans.
Top the whole thing with the sweetened condensed milk.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy!

Notes

Line the pan with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray. This will make removing the bars so much easier!
You can make these a one pan dessert by placing the butter in the oven and melting it. Then add the crumbs, stir around, and then press out. Be careful as the pan is hot and can burn you.
Press the cracker crumbs down firmly. Use a spatula if needed.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the bars. Be sure to hit the edges.
Bake until the edges of the bars are a lightly golden brown and the coconut is lightly toasted.
Refrigerate the bars to cool them down even faster.
Sprinkle with sea salt upon removing from the oven. This will help it stick to the bars.
