I used a combination of pecans, coconut, white chocolate chips with macadamia nuts, butterscotch and semi-sweet chocolate chips in this Clean Your Pantry Cookie Bar.

I came up with this recipe the other day when I realized I had an extra can of sweetened condensed milk, graham crackers and a bunch of opened bags of baking treats in my pantry.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4-1/3 cups total of a variety of add-ins in any amount of:
  • chips - white, semi-sweet, dark and/or milk chocolate, butterscotch, cinnamon etc.
  • nuts - walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts etc
  • coconut
  • raisins or other dried fruits
  • coarsely chopped candy bars or candy-coated chocolate pieces

Preparation:

Evenly pour sweetened condensed milk over crust. Sprinkle top with variety* of add-ins. Press into milk and bottom layer. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting.
