How to Make Seven Layer Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
Layer the following ingredients evenly over the crust:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Pour 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layered ingredients.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Refrigerating for at least 30 minutes will help them firm up nicely.
