Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 ½ cups sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins)

  • 1 ¼ cups pecan halves

  • 1 cup flaked coconut

  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips

  • ¾ cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter in a bowl; press into the prepared baking dish.

  3. Stir sweetened condensed milk, cranberries, pecans, coconut, white chocolate chips, and bittersweet chocolate chips together in a bowl; gently spread over graham cracker crust.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Cook's Notes:

Feel free to use fat-free sweetened condensed milk and low-sugar dried cranberries.

The parchment paper makes cutting and cleanup a breeze.

Vanilla chips can be substituted for the white chocolate chips. Semisweet chocolate chips can be substituted for the bittersweet chips.
