Magic Cookie Bars

Baking is not one of my favorite past times, but I love a good cookie recipe where I don't need a lot of baking accessories and I can just layer a few ingredients down, throw it in the oven, and cut it up squares. Eagle Brand debuted this recipe in the 60's.  I wonder if Betty Draper would make this?  This recipe is an oldie, but a goodie. 

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
sweetened condensed milk (most recipes call for one 14 oz can, but I used about 2/3 of a can. I love using leftover condensed milk with my coffee, one spoon in place of milk and sugar. Oh, and grocery store brand works fine)
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup sweet flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of pan (I used a 9 inch square baking pan). Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over mixture.
Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars.

I covered the baking pan with some parchment paper before layering everything in, with the ends sticking out so that I could lift the entire square out and cut them up on my counter, without scratching my baking dish. I've seen this done on cooking shows, but for some reason a lot of graham cracker crumbs crumbled off while I was cutting up the squares, so I'm not sure if the parchment paper prohibited the crust from setting or not.  Anyway, these are delicious, as I think you can imagine.
