Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 baking dish (or smaller for thicker bars) with parchment paper and lightly grease. Set aside.
Then, place your graham crackers in a food processor or blender and grind them into fine. Alternatively, you can put your cookies in a gallon-size plastic bag and crush the crackers with a rolling pin until fine. Once you have crushed and measured your graham crackers, place your graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Next, melt your butter by cutting pieces and placing it in a skillet on medium-low until melted (stirring frequently). Alternatively, you can melt your butter in the microwave by putting the butter in a microwave safe bowl and heating for 60 seconds or until melted.
Then, add your melted butter to the bowl with the graham cracker crumbs. Mix until well combined. Be sure any large chunks are crushed.
Next, pour your cookie mixture evenly into a baking dish. Press the crumbs down along the bottom and side of the pan to form the crust. Be sure to pat the crumbs firmly and evenly. Pro tip: use the back of a measuring cup to firmly press the crust into the pan.
Optional Step. Bake the crust for 5 minutes on 350F. Once done. Remove from oven and set aside. Pro tip: this creates a crisper crust.
Then, evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips on the graham cracker crust. Next, evenly sprinkle the butterscotch chips. Then, evenly add the coconut and chopped nuts.
Mix the 1 tsp of vanilla in the sweetened condensed milk. You can add this in can or a separate bowl. Stir carefully. Then, carefully drizzle the condensed milk on top of the chips and nuts. Spread evenly.
Optional Step. Add a little sprinkle of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
Bake on 350F for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and coconut is lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky salt. Let completely cool before cutting.
