Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Texas Trash Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with graham cracker crumbs and mix until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. Once the crust has cooled slightly, sprinkle sweetened coconut over the crust, followed by chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  4. Carefully pour sweetened condensed milk over the layered ingredients, ensuring it seeps into all areas.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the top is bubbly.
  6. Let the Texas Trash Pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
