- 1 stick of butter
- 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 ⅓ shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
To prepare the graham cracker crumbs, put crackers in a plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin until crushed. Alternately, run them through a food processor.
Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square pan. Melt the butter and pour it into the pan. Sprinkle the crumbs over the butter and mix to make a crust, then flatten the mixture down with the blunt end of a fork evenly around the pan.
Add the walnuts, chocolate chips, and coconut in layers. (Note: these treats still taste delicious if you omit the nuts.) Drizzle the milk over the top in thin ribbons, and spread the milk with a spatula to cover the lower ingredients or they will burn. Make sure to capture the edges of the pan with the milk.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Wait until cool, and then slice in the pan.
