Ohhhhh man these were good! My family and co-workers absolutely loved them! I used pecans instead of walnuts. The only thing that I would do differently is probably add a little more butter to the crust mixture so that it's not so crumbly. Other then that AMAZING!

This was my first attempt at baking bar cookies, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the results (much easier than making chocolate chip cookies!) The results were comparable to the decadent bar cookies I've bought from bakeries/restaurants. The only modifications I made were substituting peanut butter chips for the butterscotch and reducing the amount of coconut flakes to a light sprinkling on top (I'm not a huge coconut fan and it's less messy!) If you love rich, sweet bar cookies, this one is a no-brainer!

Try this over the grill to use up the residual heat after you're done barbecuing! If you want to try it, the most important tip is to use a cast-iron pan or enameled cast iron pan; anything with thinner metal would probably burn too quickly. I used an enameled cast-iron 8x8 pan and halved the recipe. I mixed butter and graham cracker crumbs first, then layered everything else. I placed it uncovered on the grill for 20 minutes over winding-down coals. The pan was off to the side and not directly over the coals, so it didn't burn. But I did turn the pan around halfway through because I noticed the edge closest to the center was getting toasty. Delicious!

Yummiest things on earth!

Very rich and yummy! Ooey gooey!

this was an excellent recipe BUT I just couldn't let myself add that much sweetened condensed milk. I added a bit more chips though LOL

Incredibly rich. Be ready if you do not have an insane sweet tooth! What I liked about this recipe is that the coconut is on top of everything. It made a great toasted coconut topping instead of mush. I suggest combining the butter and graham cracker crumbs in another bowl before pressing into the 13x9. I used normal crumbs however graham crackers may work as well (cinnamon graham crackers might be delicious in this recipe!) It was an overall crowd-pleaser. Try to substitute other nuts like pecans in, or try peanut butter chips. Butterscotch chips are a MUST. Note** I highly suggest lining the pan with parchment paper. The bars slide right out!

good but way too rich and sweet for my liking. my bf liked it though.

Too sweet for our taste...

Tip: one cellophane package of graham crackers equals 1 1/2 Cups. I mixed the butter and crackers and pressed in the bottom of the pan, don't recommend melting your butter in the pan because then the pan gets to hot to press down the crust. I then put down half the milk then the chips and nuts, pressed that down a bit, added the rest of the milk then topped with the coconut and pressed that down a bit too. I didn't have any problem with burning and my bars held together wonderfully. I think I prefer just the semi-sweet chips though and no butterscotch (even though I LOVE that combo in other things!)

YUM! I lined my pan with parchment, with other's comments about them sticking to the pan. I also combined the butter & graham cracker crumbs first. These were delicious & super EASY!

Love this recipe! I take these to all of my casual get-togethers. I do use milk choc chips instead of semi sweet - just preference. If I want something sweet I go for it! Bravo to this classic bar.

Super sweet, super rich, super chocolatey...

FAST< YUMMY AND ALSO EASY!!! I am not an expert at cooking so I loved these. I am not a nut fan though so I enjoyed them better without the nuts. Everybody should try this recipe!

These were a little too sweet for me but my boyfriend really liked them! I made them with peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch.

I read many of the reviews and used parchment paper - perfect solution to the reports of stickiness. The entire thing lifts out of the pan and comes right off the paper when fully cooled. An exceptional variation follows: Substitute chocolate boxed cake instead of graham crumbs, increasing butter to 1 1/2 sticks of butter. Mix thoroughly and press on bottom of pan. I used 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup semi-sweet chips and sprinkled over the crust. I omitted nuts altogether; mixed the milk with the coconut, poured it over the layers of chips; THEN topped with a handful of semi-sweet chips on top for a really nice presentation. Very impressive and absolutely delicious - finger licken' good!

Oldie but goodie!! I have with experimented different nuts. Pecans are my favorite. Always tasty and people love them. Plus, they are easy to make!

just what i was looking for, thanks!

How great is it that this recipe only requires a pan and measuring cups? I didn't have any problems with the crust falling apart. I did use leftover crust mix from a cheesecake kit I had, which might have special powers or chemicals (I don't want to know!) :) Actually, I halved the recipe and it fit into an 8x8 dish fine. I was worried about the coconut burning so I added it after the rest baked for 10 minutes and it came out picture-perfect toasty. Only do that part if you don't mind it falling off a bit, though...
