I did not change a thing and its tastes good and looks great! The topping of coconut has a light golden color, especially around the edge and just looks great and they taste great!

These are fantastic. I can never make enough. I mix the melted butter and crumbs in a separate bowl, then press them down in the pan. That just seems easier.

I have tried many variations of this recipe and this one was my favorite. I stirred the margarine and graham cracker crumbs (1 1/2 packages) together, and assembled the remaining ingredients as instructed (minus the walnuts because my husband doesn't like them). I also added 1/2 cup of butterscotch chips. Baked 20 minutes and came out perfect!

These are great. I would suggest mixing the graham cracker crumbs and butter together first and pressing into your pan. Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk over crust, then layer with remaining ingredients. Makes it all stick together better. You can substitute chocolate chips or nuts with dried cranberries, raisins, mini marshmallows or butterscotch chips. So many variations to use. Always a crowd pleaser.......

Can you say YUMMY! These were fantastic! As some reviewers mentioned, I also skipped the nuts. No problem. I also didn't have a full cup of chocolate, so I substituted a handful of butterscotch chips instead (and, while I was at it, threw in some toffee bits). I'm telling you....these were good warm right out of the oven, and the next day for a little indulgence with my morning coffee. The longer they set, the firmer they got and they indead were magical! They almost tasted like a candy bar. I will have to most definately make these around the holidays for our friends and neighbors. Thanks for the recipe!

These are rich and delicious and better yet, easy to make. I did change a few things. First I crushed Oreo cookies in the food processor until there was enough for three cups. I mix the crumbs with half a cup of melted butter and pressed firmly into the bottom of the pan. As suggested, I spread half of the sweetened condensed milk on the crumbs and then added the toppings. I used chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and a little bit of coconut (normally I hate coconut but it tastes nice in this recipe). I spread the remainder of the milk once the toppings were in place and baked at 350 for almost twenty minutes. I added additional chips once I pulled the bars from the over for a nicer presentation. Even though my husband was desperate to eat some, I waited for at least 40 minutes before cutting the bars. They were amazing!

These were awesome! I made them for our New Year's Eve party last night and they were gone in an instant! I've had many similar versions but this one was so nice and moist and crumbly -- not at all hard or dry or sticky. This one is a keeper!

I started making these several years ago. Our FAVORITE combination though is to use all butterscotch chips and slivered almonds. I use 2 cups graham cracker crumbs too for a thicker crust, chips, coconut, nuts then top with the condensed milk. Everytime I've taken these to a party or potluck, they disappear faster than the chocolate ones.

I abosolutely love this recipe. I added about 1/4 cup more graham cracker crumbs and poured the sweetened condensed milk on the crumbs before adding the rest. Can't wait to make them again!

Very yummy! I made a few modifications after reading the reviews - I used chocolate graham crackers and doubled the graham cracker/butter base since a few of the reviewers said the base was a little skimpy as it is - I liked the thickness of the base but would probably use less butter next time. I put the milk on top of the base since other reviewers said it made for a more attractive bar (I might do half under and half over next time though, to help the toppings stick better) and instead of just semi-sweet chocolate chips I mixed white chocolate chips and chocolate/peanut butter swirled chips. Since the base was thicker it took longer to cook. I check them after 25 minutes and they were not even close to being done so I covered it with foil to keep the coconut from burning and had to bake it for about 20 additional minutes. They were awesome once the cooled and set up a bit, I'll definitely make this again!

Ridiculously Good!!!! Haven't made these in years; so glad I found this recipe again. I mixed up the graham crackers and butter in food processor, then dump in pan & pat down, and baked about 5 minutes extra so they were evenly golden brown.

These are my most favorite holiday desserts to make. I however decreased the butter from 1/2 C. to 1/4 C. as I found it too greasy. I also added one small bag of butterscotch morsels along with it.

I made these today for a camping trip we're taking this week. I used about 2 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs to make more of a sturdy crust. I also poured half the can of milk over the crumbs and the other half over the top once everything was in. They came out great. After cooling for an hour they cut easily and look really great. Thanks!

They came out a lot flatter then I expected but they were good like that. We left out the nuts and put the milk under the coconut and chocolate chips so everything would stick together better. It worked quite well and had a much nicer appearance. We froze them after the first day and we are eating them straight out of the freezer. We're liking them better cold then at room temperature.

This recipe is always a hit. We don't like nuts in our baked goods - so I used choc chips, butterscotch chips and white choc chips in addition to the coconut flakes. After I assemble, I give the pan a slight tap on the counter to settle the condensed milk.

Soooooooo yummy! I followed the recipe exactly and these were delicious! I have been putting off making these and now I am so glad that I finally did. The whole family loved these. I made them today and they are already half gone! This is a nice departure from the usual cookies/brownies. Thanks for a great and easy recipe!

Great recipe! I used chopped pecans instead of walnuts. Some of the graham cracker crumb did not stay on the cookies when I cut them and placed them on a plate but recipe was still delicious. Tastes sort of like you're having an almond joy cookie bar.
