Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the ingredients in a Pyrex dish starting with the graham cracker crumbs sprinkled in melted butter, then add coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans, and Eagle Brand milk.
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened coconut instead of sweetened, or try adding a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds work well as substitutions. Ensure the butter is fully melted before mixing the graham cracker crumbs for a better consistency. If you prefer, you can also experiment with different types of chips, like white chocolate or peanut butter chips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these squares ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare Chippy Dippy Squares a day in advance. Just bake them, allow them to cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container. This allows the flavors to meld together, making them even more delicious when served the next day.
What can I substitute for Eagle Brand milk?
If you need a substitute for Eagle Brand milk, you can use sweetened condensed milk or make your own by combining evaporated milk with sugar. Just blend one cup of evaporated milk with 1 1/4 cups of sugar until dissolved to get a similar consistency and sweetness.
Can I add other ingredients to the squares?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your Chippy Dippy Squares by adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, or even a layer of peanut butter for added richness. Just be mindful of the overall sweetness, as these additions can alter the flavor balance.
