COMMENTS: Tried a small bite of this at the post-Christmas 1999 road trip to Burlington and found it delicious. I would probably make this for a special event or as special treat for Dave as it is very sweet.

Take your favorite chocolate chip bar recipe, add the holiday chip colors available or get the mini m&m and pick out red/green ones to add.
Make substititions with any of your favorites in a similar manner.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (6 ounce) semisweet chocolate chips
1 (6 ounce) butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1-1/3 cups shredded coconut

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place butter in 13 x 9 inch pan and melt in oven. Swirl to coat bottom and sides with butter. Spread crumbs evenly over bottom of pan to absorb butter. Layer chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and nuts over crumbs. Pour condensed milk over nuts. Sprinkle coconut over condensed milk. Bake until edges are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool. Cut into 1 or 2 inch squares.

Do a google search for "Martha Washington Candy". My mother made these and gave them out in shirt boxes wrapped in Christmas paper. The recipes make quite a lot. Note: She skipped the chocolate dipping- I could not get enough of these!
