Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in graham cracker crumbs until throughly combined. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
  3. Evenly sprinkle remaining ingredients one by one over the crust to form layers, beginning with the chocolate chips, followed by the butterscotch chips, coconut, and walnuts. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the top, and spread with a rubber spatula to make sure it's evenly distributed.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and the middle is set.
  5. Allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make your own graham cracker crumbs, use about 11-12 full graham cracker rectangle sheets for 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper. It makes removal of your seven layer magic bars much easier, plus makes cleanup better, too. If you line it so that the paper overhangs the sides of your pan, you can use the flaps to lift the bars out of the pan, then place it on a cutting board to slice.
  • If lining your pan with parchment paper, crumple it into a ball first! Yes, it sounds a little silly, but crumpling the parchment paper first before laying it in the bottom of your pan will help it to "stay put" and adhere better to the sides of the pan.
  • Allow your seven layer bars to cool COMPLETELY before cutting. While I fully admit to sometimes sneaking a warm bite of magic bars straight from the pan, it's really better to wait until they're completely cool to cut them. Things can get a little messy otherwise.
  • Refrigerate your cooled bars to make cutting smoother. After the bars are cool, you can also place them in the fridge for a couple of hours to help them firm up a bit.
