Ingredients

Scale

11/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

114 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips*

11/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

11/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped*

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.

Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.  Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crumbs.  Layer the chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds evenly over the milk.  Press down firmly with a fork.

Bake the bars for 25 to 30 minutes or until slightly brown.  Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars.  Store bars by tightly covering with plastic wrap or aluminum foil for up to 5 days.

*Substitute milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips.  Walnuts, pecans or another nut type can also be substituted.
