  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 828 ml pretzel twists
  • Kosher salt
  • 44.4 ml packed dark brown sugar
  • 237 ml butterscotch chips
  • 237 ml semisweet chocolate chips

  • Melt 118 ml unsalted butter

Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides; spray the parchment paper.

  2. Step 2.

    In a food processor, pulse pretzel twists until finely ground, 15 to 20 seconds; transfer to a medium bowl. Add melted butter, kosher salt, and dark brown sugar, and mix until combined. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until dry to the touch and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3.

    While the crust is still warm, top it evenly with butterscotch chips, semisweet chocolate chips, shredded sweetened coconut, and chopped roasted salted almonds, pressing gently to compact the toppings. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.

  4. Step 4.

    Bake until golden brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after removing from the oven. Let cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours. Use the parchment overhangs to lift the bars onto a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.
