Prepare the graham cracker crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a little bit of salt in a bowl until well combined.

Add butterscotch chips on top of the chocolate chips.

7

Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the coconut layer.

8

Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire layered mixture, ensuring it covers all areas.

9

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the walnuts are toasted.
