Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  2. Place the butter in a 13x9-inch (3.5L) baking pan and place in the oven just until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter.
  4. Mix the crumbs and butter together thoroughly and press firmly onto the bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
  5. Layer the coconut, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and miniature marshmallows evenly over the crust.
  6. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over all the toppings.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the marshmallows are puffy.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with the melted semi-sweet chocolate squares.
  9. Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting.
  10. Cut into squares and serve.

Variations: You can use walnuts, pecans, or almonds for the chopped nuts. For a tropical twist, use toasted macadamia nuts.

Tip: To melt the chocolate for drizzling, use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Ingredient Note: Ensure you use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, for the proper texture and sweetness.
