7- Layer Bars

Ingredients:

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

9 graham crackers, crushed

1 cup finely chopped walnuts

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup butterscotch chips

1 (14oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350F with the oven rack adjusted to the lower-middle position. Butter a 9x13 inch pan and line with parchment paper so that there is overhang that will help with easy removal of the baked bars

Spread the coconut flakes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the outer flakes just begin to brown; about 8 min; set aside

Meanwhile, heat the stick of butter in the lined baking pan in the oven, until completely melted.

Remove the pan from the oven and take turns tipping each side so that the butter spreads evenly across the bottom.

Taste the graham cracker to make sure it is yummy!!

Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter and toss until the butter is absorbed and the crumbs are evenly distributed.

In order…sprinkle over the graham cracker crust

sprinkle the walnuts

semisweet chocolate chips

butterscotch chips

white chocolate chips

and coconut

Pour the condensed milk evenly over the top

Return the pan to the oven and bake until the top is golden, about 25 minutes

Cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temp. about 2 hours.

Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2x3 in bars.

If the bars are still soft and falling apart, cool in the fridge until firm before continuing to cut.
