Magic Bars

Kyle grew up calling these cookies Hello Dollys.  I called them Magic Bars. On the back of my Sam's Club size bag of chocolate chips and they call them Outrageous Cookie Bars.  Whatever you call them, they are just plain good!

1 stick butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. flaked coconut
1 c. chopped walnuts (I use pecans because that is what I like)

Preheat oven to 350.  Melt butter in 13x9 baking pan in oven; remove from oven. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter. Stir well; press onto bottom of pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumbs. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts; press down firmly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 2-3 dozen bars.
