I left out the walnuts because no one in my family really likes them and increased the amount of chocolate and butterscotch chips but otherwise, I left the recipe unchanged and it was delicious. :)

SO SIMPLE & DELICIOUS! I have made this recipe many times and never have any complaints (even when I sometimes mess up the bottom layer and have crumbly bars!) I pour the condensed milk over the coconut and it turns out perfect every time! Very simple to change type of chips, nuts, etc. Wonderful recipe!

I see that some of you have a problem with the graham cracker crumbs being left behind. I put the condensed milk as my 2nd layer over the crumbs. It tastes great and holds them together!

excellent! this dessert is so simple! want to make it even more easier? i used the pre-made graham cracker pie crusts! i just split the recipe between 2 pie crusts (eliminating the graham cracker crumbs and butter of course). i also went with most of the other members and poured the milk over the top. Turned out great!

I loved this recipe but I took half the shredded coconut and mixed in half the con. milk with it so it would not be so dry. I topped it of with some dry shredded coconut for a nice browned top.

These were so easy; I only had to clean the dish the bars were baked in. I got rave reviews from everyone, but next time I will use less coconut and butter.

These are great! We have made them twice already and will make them again very soon. I can't believe how easy they are to make. The only changes I made were using fat free condensed milk and adding more coconut. I have made them with regular and fat free and cannot taste a difference so I will now only make them with fat free.

These bars are divine! The best part about them is that they are so quick and easy to make. The first time I made them, I got numerous recipe requests. I followed the advice of others and poured the condensed milk over the coconut. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfectly. I will definitely make these bars again, and again! They are so delicious!

I make these all the time - many variations - but I always add the milk last like other reviewers. I found a new variation to try recently - use a box of devil's food cake mix blended with 1 1/2 cups softened butter to make a crumbly dough & use that in place of the graham crackers....YUM! And I think it holds together better that cracker crumbs.

Wonderful flavor, very rich that's the only good thing. Followed exactly and mine did not set up. The edges were dry and crumbly and the middle was gooey. Maybe it needed some flour or egg or something to bind it together? Had to be eaten with a spoon. The graham crumbs/butter never formed a crust, the bars were only a spoonable texture and the coconut didn't adhere and fell off the "bars" when cut. The coconut needs to be beneath the condensed milk layer. Couldn't get these out of the pan and they were just spoonable goop and crumbs. UPDATE: Day two: these are now set up and firm and finally I was able to cut into bars. Now you can pick them up by hand! Very dry crust though, and they were tastier yesterday when they were really gooey and not set. I can't imagine what was wrong b/c I let them cool for 4 hours first.

I love this recipe! It is rich, but oh-so worth it. My family puts the milk on after the coconut, and I did it that way. That way, the coconut doesn't burn. Don't cut the butter - it's what holds it all together. I'd also not use unsalted - I think the extra seasoning only adds to the recipe. The last time I made these, I used half butterscotch and half peanut butter chips, and it was great. These go fast, so beware!

I used dark chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and white chocolate. The white chocolate chips melted (didn't retain their form). I also didn't have graham crackers where i live, so i crushed up similar crackers combined with pretzels as well. Very good!

How can you go wrong with all these ingredients? I made these (along with many other desserts) after one of my husband's concerts, and everyone wanted the recipe! It was the EASIEST of the desserts that I made!
