7 layer bars

by Carrie on June 5, 2008

One of my dads favorite desserts is 7 layer bars, I knew I wouldn’t have time to make a cake for his birthday so I decided to make 7 layer bars instead. This is an easy recipe and one I learn from my grandma :) These are ALWAYS a hit. Normally For the first time I added cherry chips in too. They seemed to add a great flavor to them as well.

7 layer bars (From: Grandma)

  • 1 bag chocolate chips
  • 1 bag butterscotch chips
  • 1 bag cherry chips (This was the first time I used these)
  • 1 bag coconut
  • 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 T. melted butter
  • nuts (optional)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix melted butter and graham cracker crumbs together.

Layer chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and cherry chips.

Top with coconut then pour over condensed milk.

Bake for 30-45 minutes until they are bubbly and golden brown.

My mom used to make these all the time, I totally forgot about them until you posted this!

My Mom used to make these at Christmas time. They are still a Christmas tradition in our family, minus the cherry chips. I think they were originally supposed to have nuts but my mom didn’t like nuts so she never put them in. She called them Hello Dollies.
