Instructions

- Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the graham crackers.
- Sprinkle butterscotch chips and chocolate chips on top.
- Cover with coconut and pour Eagle Brand milk over all.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of nuts such as pecans or almonds instead of walnuts. If you want to reduce sweetness, use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. Make sure to evenly distribute the Eagle Brand milk to prevent dry spots in the bars. If you prefer a firmer texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
These chewy bars are perfect for dessert or as a sweet snack. Serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. Consider cutting them into small squares for a delightful addition to a dessert platter at gatherings or parties.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to two weeks. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until slightly softened, making them even more chewy and delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand milk?
Eagle Brand milk is sweetened condensed milk, which adds richness and moisture to the bars. If you need a substitute, you can use homemade condensed milk, but the texture and sweetness may differ slightly. Adjust the sugar in the recipe if using unsweetened alternatives.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make these chewy bars gluten-free, simply substitute the crushed graham crackers with gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or another gluten-free cookie crumb like almond flour or crushed gluten-free cookies. Ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
Can I freeze these chewy bars?
Yes, you can freeze these chewy bars! Cut them into squares and layer between parchment paper in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving for the best texture.
