Make the graham cracker crust by combining 1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 0.5 cups of salted melted butter in a mixing bowl.

Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and butter until well combined.

Line a 9x13 glass baking dish with parchment paper or grease it.

Pour the graham cracker mixture into the pan and press it evenly into the bottom to form a thin layer.

Pour 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust.

Layer on top 1 cup of chopped walnuts, 1.33 cups of flaky coconut, and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Press down the layers gently with a fork to compact them together.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Bake the layered bars in the preheated oven for about 25-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the middle is slightly toasty.

Remove from the oven and let cool before trying to cut them.
