The 12 Days of Christmas Cookies - Day Four - Chocolate-Butterscotch Bars

 These are one of the easiest cookies to make because they mix and bake in the same pan.  Everything you need to make them is pictured here:

On the left is a 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish.  Inside is a stick of butter.  Next to it is 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup of butterscotch chips, 1 1/3 cups shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I'm using walnuts but any nut will work) and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk.  Make sure it's not evaporated milk.  

Place the butter in the baking dish and place in the oven.  Set to 350º and allow the butter to melt while the oven heats.  Once the butter is completely melted remove from oven.

Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs into the melted butter.  If necessary, smooth out with a rubber spatula.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the graham cracker crumbs.

Sprinkle the butterscotch chips next.

Follow with the chopped nuts.

Sprinkle the coconut on top, covering as much of the chips and nuts as you can.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the entire surface.  Do not heat the can to make it pour faster.  Just let it pour at room temperature and work your way from one end to the other and then from side to side.  It does not have to completely cover the entire surface.

Bake at 350º for 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and it will look like this:

Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for five minutes.  Then use a rubber spatula around the edges to pull them away from the pan.  Let cool completely before cutting into 24 pieces.
