Tips & Variations

• Try swapping cashews for pecans or walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
• If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of chocolate chips slightly.
• For a chewy texture, press the layers firmly before adding the condensed milk.
• Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer taste.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For best texture, bring them to room temperature before serving. These bars can also be frozen for up to a month—just thaw before enjoying.

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Melt Butter: Place the 6 tablespoons of salted butter in the prepared pan and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the butter evenly.
3. Layer Ingredients: Over the melted butter in the pan, layer the ingredients in this order: first spread the rolled oats evenly, followed by shredded coconut, then sprinkle 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, add the roasted cashews next, and top with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips. If you like, arrange the mini pretzel twists on top for a salty crunch.
4. Add Condensed Milk: Evenly pour the entire can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk over the layered ingredients, ensuring all parts are covered to bind the bars together.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The bars should be set and golden around the edges.
6. Cool and Cut: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. These bars may be a bit sticky and messy but are deliciously rich and satisfying.

Notes

• You can substitute roasted cashews with other nuts like walnuts or pecans if preferred.
• For a nut-free version, omit cashews entirely and consider adding more oats or coconut.
• The mini pretzels add a nice texture and salty flavor but are optional.
• Storing the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator helps them stay firmer and easier to cut.
• These bars are rich and sweet, so cutting into smaller portions can be satisfying without overindulging.
