Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M’s
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven and prepare your crust
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. While it warms up, mix your melted butter and graham cracker crumbs right in the baking dish. Press it down firmly to create a thin, even layer. (Pro tip: Use the back of a measuring cup for a smooth surface!)
2. Sprinkle on the magic
Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the crust. Then, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and M&M’s. Each layer is like building a delicious puzzle—just make sure it’s evenly spread for the best results.
3. Drizzle and bake
The final step before the oven is the sweetened condensed milk. Drizzle it slowly and evenly over the top, making sure every corner is covered. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and set. (Keep an eye on it toward the end—burned edges are the only thing that can ruin this recipe!)
4. Cool completely (seriously, be patient)
Once out of the oven, let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing. This is the hardest part, but trust me, they need time to firm up. Rushing this step can lead to crumbly bars—and no one wants that.
Notes
Serving and presentation ideas
For a festive touch, cut these into small squares and arrange them on a holiday platter. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar for a snowy effect or drizzle some melted chocolate over the top for an extra indulgent presentation. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or serve alongside a spread of other holiday desserts like sugar cookies or fudge.
