Notes
- To store. Once cooled, transfer the cookie bars to an airtight container and store them between layers of parchment paper for up to a week.
- To make ahead. Make the Hello Dolly Bars up to a week in advance and follow the directions to store them in the refrigerator.
- To freeze. Store the cooled Hello Dolly Bars in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Double Chocolate Hello Dolly Bars. Don't care for butterscotch? Use two types of chocolate in these cookie bars and leave out the butterscotch! I love to make one layer of dark chocolate chips and another layer of semi-sweet chocolate chips, then proceed with the remaining ingredients according to the recipe. So perfect for the chocolate lover!
- Toffee Hello Dolly Bars. Replace the butterscotch with an equal amount of toffee chips.
- Butterfinger Hello Dolly Bars. Use an equal amount of butterfinger chips for the butterscotch.
- Chocolate Chip Oat Hello Dolly Bars. Want something other than coconut? Replace the coconut with rolled oats.
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Hello Dolly Bars. Love peanut butter? Replace the butterscotch with peanut butter chips and chopped cocktail peanuts for the nuts.
- Nut-free Hello Dolly Bars. While I love to use pecans, walnuts, and even peanuts, you can also omit the nuts and add more chips if you like or need a nut-free cookie bar!
