Step-by-Step Instructions for 7 Layer Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prep your baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine melted unsalted butter with graham cracker crumbs in a mixing bowl, then press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  3. Evenly sprinkle shredded coconut, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped walnuts over the crust.
  4. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over the layers, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-28 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 3 hours to firm up.
  7. Slice the cooled bars into squares or rectangles, and serve immediately or refrigerate for cleaner cuts.
