Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups graham cracker crushed
  • 10 Tbsp. butter melted, salted
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 1 ½ cups sweetened coconut flakes
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9” x 13” glass baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs the edge of the dish. Butter the parchment paper.
  2. Crush the graham crackers in a large food storage bag. This can be done by hand or with a rolling pin, just be careful not to puncture the bag. Or you can use graham cracker crumbs if your store carries them.
  3. Measure out 2 cups of the crumbs and pour them into the 9” x 13” glass baking dish. Add the melted butter to the dish and mix well.
  4. Then press it down evenly with your hands.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly across the top of the graham crackers.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the top.
  7. Sprinkle the coconut evenly across the top.
  8. Pour a small stream of the sweetened, condensed milk over the top in a grid pattern so that the milk is evenly distributed across the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes and stop baking when the coconut on the edges is golden brown. Allow to cool for an hour before cutting and serving. Cut the bars into a 4 x 6 grid to yield 24 hello dolly bars. If you want larger or smaller bars, then cut to your liking.

Notes

  • Storage Info
  • On the Counter
  • Let the Hello Dolly Bars cool fully before storing them to avoid sogginess. Keep them in a closed container to maintain their freshness. Put paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to last up to a week.
  • In The Freezer
  • To keep the bars longer, you can freeze them. Wrap each bar in plastic or foil, then put them in a freezer bag or box and they will be good for 2-3 months. Write the date on it to know when you froze them. To eat, thaw them out of the freezer for a few hours; don’t use the microwave because it could change their taste and feel.
