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
- Graham crackers: Honey-flavored or cinnamon graham cracker crumbles both taste incredible as the crust for these Seven Layer Bars. If graham crackers aren’t available in your corner of the globe, swap in 1 ½ cups crushed digestive biscuits (9 sheets of graham crackers yields about 1 ½ cups of crumbs).
- Chips: The classic Seven Layer Bar includes semi-sweet, white chocolate, and butterscotch chips. Dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or even chopped bar chocolate would also work wonderfully here. Feel free to mix-and-match as desired; and keep in mind no one will be mad if these end up being Eight or Nine Layer Bars!
- Flaked coconut: I prefer the sweetened kind here but unsweetened is perfectly acceptable too. For crunchier texture and nuttier flavor, toast the coconut.
- Yield: This Seven Layer Bars makes 18 generous bar cookies. This chocolate dessert is rich enough that a little goes a long way, so if you're sharing this as part of a potluck menu that includes other party desserts, you could definitely get 24 bars out of each 9- by 13-inch pan.
- Storage: Wrap the cooked and cooled bars tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for 3 days.
- Freezer: The cooled bars can be wrapped in a double-layer of freezer-safe plastic and frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature.
