• Add the graham cracker mixture to the prepared pan, pressing firmly to create an even crust on the bottom.
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crust and smooth in an even layer with a silicone spatula.
• Sprinkle half of the chopped chocolate, half of the butterscotch chips, and half the pecans evenly over the condensed milk.
• Sprinkle the coconut flakes over the mixture in an even layer.
• Sprinkle the remaining chocolate, butterscotch, and nuts evenly over the coconut.
• Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the mixture.
• Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the toppings are slightly golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
