7 Layer Bars
Description
7 Layer Bars bring together a crunchy graham cracker and butter base topped by a mix of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped walnuts or pecans, all held together with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and finished with a layer of shredded coconut. Baking at 350°F softens the condensed milk and lightly browns the coconut, creating a chewy, sweet topping that contrasts with the crisp bottom. Cooling the bars for several hours is essential to allow the chocolate and milk to firm up for easier slicing. These bars are a sweet option for dessert or snack plates, combining diverse textures and familiar flavors.
The recipe requires layering each ingredient evenly over the prepared crust before baking about 25 minutes. Leaving them to cool thoroughly ensures neat pieces without excessive melting or crumbliness. Walnut or pecan choices impart slight variation in nutty taste and texture but maintain the nutty character that complements the chocolate and butterscotch additions.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter melted, salted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup walnuts chopped, or pecans
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups coconut sweetened shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and lightly butter the sides and bottom or a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter butter in a bowl and use a fork to stir until well-combined. Pour into the bottom of your prepared pan and use the clean bottom of a measuring cup to tamp into the bottom of pan
- Pour chocolate chips, then butterscotch chips, then chopped nuts, evenly over the graham cracker crust layer.
- Drizzle ingredients in pan evenly with sweetened condensed milk.
- Evenly sprinkle coconut over the condensed milk.
- Transfer to oven and bake 350F for 25 minutes or until coconut is turning lightly golden brown.
- Allow bars to cool several hours before cutting -- this will allow the chocolate to firm up and make them easier to cut. If you cut them sooner they'll be quite messy (but still delicious!)
