Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl with your hands (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press it into the bottom in an even layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup to help. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs, then sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans and coconut over the milk.
- Bake until the sides are golden brown and begin to pull away from the dish, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the dish. Cut into 48 small pieces (they are rich). The cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper so the parchment hangs over on the two longest sides. Generously grease with butter.
- Use a food processor to grind the graham cracker into a semi-fine meal.
- Add the brown sugar and pulse several times to incorporate.
- With the processor running, slowly add the 1/2 cup butter until well combined.
- Add the graham cracker mixture to the prepared pan, pressing firmly to create an even crust on the bottom.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust and smooth in an even layer with a silicone spatula.
- Sprinkle half of the chopped chocolate, half of the butterscotch chips, and half the pecans evenly over the condensed milk.
- Sprinkle the coconut flakes over the mixture in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate, butterscotch, and nuts evenly over the coconut.
- Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the mixture.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the toppings are slightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
- Use the excess parchment to lift the bars from the baking dish. Cut into equal size pieces, 12 to 24 bars, depending upon preference, and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your magic cookie bars will turn out. Choose real butter, not margarine, and use high-quality chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the layers firmly into the pan: This will help to keep the bars together and prevent them from falling apart.
- Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Magic cookie bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their chewy graham cracker crust, gooey chocolate chips, and sweet coconut and nut filling, they're sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
