Chocolate Coconut bars

Ok, note #1: If you don't like coconut, you will NOT like these. I was introduced do these little heavenly cookies at Christmas when a friend brought them on a goodie plate. The recipe is a Martha Stewart one and my friend gave me the link. Anyway, I am passing on the yumminess again.

We LOVE these. They are very rich though.
3 Cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 to 1/2 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup melted butter (I had to use WAY more than that to keep the crumbs from crumbling...no pun intended)
1 Cup pecans (I left off since I am not a huge nut person)
1/2 Cup chocolate chips
1/2 Cup butterscotch chips
1-14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 Cup coconut

1) Mix crumbs, sugar, and butter. Press into a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes, rotating at 5 minutes. (I only baked for 6 and rotated at 3 minutes) Take out and let cool about 20 minutes.
2) Sprinkle the graham cracker crust with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pecans. Evenly pour sweetened condensed milk over the top. Sprinkle with coconut. (if you don't like butterscotch, just use chocolate chips...I used a mixture of both but definitely I used more than the 1/2 cup each.)
3) Bake 10-15 minutes or until coconut is lightly toasted. Cool, cut, and enjoy!
