Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350(F). Coat the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2 pan with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the dry brownie mix over the butter. Layer with coconut, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and pecans. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into 24 squares.
Attempting to slice these dense bars while they remain warm guarantees a collapsed structure and crumbs instead of clean squares. Letting the pan chill completely allows the sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate components to set properly before portioning. Standard metal baking pans conduct heat faster than glass alternatives, requiring careful observation during the 30 to 35 minute baking window to prevent the edges from burning before the center sets.
Freezing and Storage Protocol
Prepared bars retain their texture well when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, individual squares freeze successfully for up to two months. Separate each layer with parchment paper inside a freezer-safe container to prevent sticking. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator before serving, or warm them briefly in a 350 degree oven for five minutes to restore the original texture.
- Grease the 13x9x2 pan thoroughly so the dry mix adheres correctly.
- Watch for bubbly edges as the primary visual indicator of doneness.
- Cool completely on a wire rack to stabilize the dairy components.
