Seven Layer Bars
Seven Layer Bars combine a graham cracker crust with layers of chopped walnuts, semi-sweet, white chocolate, and butterscotch chips, toasted sweetened coconut, and sweetened condensed milk baked together to create rich, chewy dessert bars. These bars offer a mix of textures and sweet flavors with a golden finish and are baked in a 9x13 pan then cut into squares.
Ingredients
- 9 whole graham crackers
- 8 tablespoons butter melted and cooled (1 stick)
- 1 cup walnuts finely chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut toasted
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 by 13-inch cake pan with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, finely crush graham crackers. Toss with butter, then press into prepared pan in an even layer.
- Layer the walnuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconuts on top of the graham cracker crumbs in that order. Drizzle condensed milk evenly over the top.
- Bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Lift bars out of the pan using foil sling and cut into squares.
Notes
- Honey-flavored or cinnamon graham crackers both work well for the crust; substitute crushed digestive biscuits if unavailable.
- Dark, milk, peanut butter, or chopped chocolate chips can be used instead of the specified chips for variety.
- Sweetened flaked coconut is preferred toasted for more flavor; unsweetened can be used as an alternative.
- This recipe yields about 18 bars; smaller pieces yield up to 24.
- Wrap cooled bars tightly to store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
