(Shelley's) Magic Cookie Bars

Magic Cookie Bars call for a graham cracker crust, and I never have graham crackers on hand when I want to make it. So. I combined this recipe with the crust of Carmelitas and VOILĂ€! Shelley's Magic Cookie Bars were born. They taste delish (if I do say so myself). If you're not a fan of coconut, they actually still taste really good--you can barely taste it, and it adds a nice flavor (just try it, and you'll see what I mean).

Ingredients

Crust:
1 1/2 sticks butter (room temp)
3/4 c Brown Sugar
1 c Oatmeal
1 c Flour
1/8 t. Salt
1/2 t. Baking Soda

Mix all ingredients together (I use a pastry blender, but you can use a beater, too) until well mixed. Press into bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350.

Cookie Goodness:
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/3 c Sweetened coconut
1 c Chocolate chips
1 c Butterscotch chips

Pour sweetened condensed milk onto baked crust, then layer the coconut, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips how you want. Press into condensed milk. Put back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes at 350. You can either refrigerate, or let it sit out, but try and resist eating it until it sets (though it still tastes good as an ooey-gooey-mess).
