Seven-Layer Cookie Bars

This was originally our friend Ms. Christine's recipe, but I have become famous for making it.

NOTE from Laurie: This is a quick and easy recipe when you need a sweet treat to share, but they are very sweet (what my family calls "sicky sweet"!) and I can't really eat them if they're made according to the recipe. When I make them, I cut the quantity of both types of chips by half.

1 stick butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 C.  bittersweet chocolate chips (Sicky sweet—use significantly less!)
1 C.  butterscotch chips (Sicky sweetuse significantly less!)
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 can sweetened condensed milk

In square metal pan, melt butter. Stir in graham cracker crumbs. Sprinkle with layers of the following: chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and pecans. Pour the milk over this. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool and then cut into small squares. (They are very rich!)
