I sampled something similar years ago, with a friend who said the secret on these was "not to over-do the choco chips"! So, I use only 6 oz of choco chips and a full cup of butterscotch chips - this amount is perfect! Replace the walnuts with those skin-on sliced almonds and don't pack your coconut. A thicker graham crust balances the sweetness perfectly. I like to add the melted butter to a bowl first to mix up and then spread on bottom of the pan. Cook on bottom rack - edges will look overdone but those are nice to trim off and sample! Kids love them frozen!

Pretty good. Quite sweet and tastes a bit like old fashioned, fifties-type food. Don't think I'll make it again, but they weren't bad.

Every Friday my husband takes a home made treat to his office to share with co- workers, this is the first time others have asked for the recipe, the boss even said that this is the best one yet!! I cut them pretty small kinda bite size. I also doubled the butter and graham cracker crumbs. Such an easy bake no mixing required!! I had slivered almonds on hand instead of walnuts. Turned out perfect!!!

I've done basically the same recipe for years and everybody begs for more. The only difference is I use pecans instead of walnuts, and I use a 7x11 pan and bake them at 375 for 40 minutes so the sweetened condensed milk carmelized on top. They look overdone, but they're definitely not!

This recipe is similar to the recipe I usually use to make what I call "Decadent Indulgence" bars, only I use 1 cup of each type of 'chip', and I finely crush my crumbs into almost a powder; It helps it stick together better. Also, when you cut these into squares, make sure you cut them into small squares (1"x1" is plenty). Anything more than that is too much and will leave you feeling sick. I get requests for these ALL THE TIME!

These were very good and easy. I did alter the ingredients as suggested by others. I used 1 1/2 cups of crumbs and about 1 cup of each chips. Very good and will make again and again.

This is just what I was looking for !! I had lost my recipe and hadn't made it for a while...kind of remembered it, but wanted a recipe to be sure I didn't mess up this delicious treat! Didn't have butterscotch chips so I substituted white chocolate chips...good! Omited cocont because my guy won't eat coconut. They turned out great and I will definitely make again !!

This was an okay recipe - I didn't follow exactly because the amount graham cracker crumbs it calls for really isn't enough. In addition, the amount of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut and walnuts seem too much as well - which would explain those reviews where folks ended up with a sticky, hard mess. My suggestion....use your own senses and judgement. Put as much or as little of the topping goodies you'd like - just make sure that your base crust will be as firm, thick and stable enough to hold it all. Don't forget that the topping is mostly sugar and the condensed milk is sweet enough. You don't want to end up with something too sweet and have it go to waste! Overall - this was an acceptable recipe to use as a GUIDE.

These bars took me back to my childhood. My mom made them and we all rushed to gobble them up whenever they were in the house. This recipe is the exact replica and was just as good, except it was my kids that were running to eat them up!

This had such excellent reviews so I thought this would come out perfect. It was sickly sweet and chewy. I followed the recipe and did not overbake...or underbake, but it was a mess of sticky toffee in my pan that did not even taste good. :-(

Quick and easy--no mixing required! My daughter is allergic to all nuts but almonds, so I substituted sliced almonds and it worked fine.

These are the greatest bars (we call them magic cookie bars). The butterscotch is a must! Also, pecans can be substituted for walnuts (or can be left out entirely). Non-fat or low-fat sweetened condensed milk and non-fat or low-fat graham cracker can be used for a lighter version!

These were absolutely delicious, and a big hit at my Christmas party. I did have to cook it for about 45 minutes, but that might have been due to increasing the number of bars. Can't wait to make these again.

These bars were so-o-o easy to make!! The cleanup was quick too as you only use one pan. And they were delicious! I had some chocolate chips left over so I sprinkled them on top. Just a note: when you take it out of the oven, the center will be very gooey. The bars will harden once they're fully cooled.
