Ingredients:

You can make your own graham cracker crumbs (see instructions below) or purchase boxed graham cracker crumbs at the grocery store. I typically use Honey Maid brand.
Be sure to purchase a high quality brand of chocolate and butterscotch chips.
Choose your favorite nuts for this recipe. I typically use pecans or walnuts. However, you could easily use cashews, pistachios, or almonds.

Tips:

If you'd like to make the graham cracker crumbs yourself, you'll need a 14.4 ounce box of graham crackers. Place the crackers in a food processor and pulse until they're finely ground. Or, place the crackers in a large ziptop bag and use a wooden rolling pin or your hands to break them into a fine texture.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last for 4-5 days at room temperature. To extend the shelf-life, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week (let them come to room temp before serving) or even freeze them, well wrapped, for a month.
You'll find graham cracker crumbs in the baking section at your grocery store. Honey Maid and Keebler both sell them.
You do have to use sweetened condensed milk for this recipe. You can make your own homemade version if you'd like. Or use a homemade vegan alternative.
