- The Warm Up

Pour sweetened condensed milk over your crust, spreading it to cover every corner in an even layer of creamy delight. Shower the surface with white chocolate and butterscotch chips, adding a sprinkle of coconut as the glory. With a tender touch, press the toppings into the milk, ensuring each square will be packed with flavor.
- The Grand Bake
Send it to bake in the oven's 25 to 30 minutes, or until the coconut observes a toasted tan. Once cooled, cut into squares shapes, each piece a tribute to your skills.
- Variations
For those adventurous, consider replacing 1 cup of the chips with chopped dried fruit or raisins. Each bite provides textures and tastes.
