2 cups honey or chocolate graham crackers, crushed into crumbs (about 16 full sheets)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ cup salted butter, melted
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup shredded sweet coconut
¾ cup pecans, chopped
1⅔ cups sweetened condensed milk

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish. Set aside
In a mixing bowl, add crushed graham crackers, vanilla extract, light brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir to combine.
Pour into the 8x8 baking dish and press down firmly with your fingers. You might want to use something flat to really press the mixture down so the crust can set up.
Sprinkle ⅓ of the chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. Repeat layers 2 more times.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the layers.
Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the coconut and edges are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your bars as the suggested baking time approaches.
When cutting the bars, spray a chef’s knife with cooking spray and wipe with a paper towel. This prevents the magic cookies from sticking to the knife.
