Also known as Seven Layer Bars or Magic Bars. An easy dessert that promises delicious layers of sweet goodness!

I used my mother’s recipe that she made for years. I just changed a few things. I doubled the amount of coconut and used 1/2 cup of butter instead of margarine. I don’t even buy margarine, do you?

Classic Hello Dolly Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

While the oven is preheating melt the butter in a 9×13 baking pan.

Prep the ingredients so all you have to do once the butter is melted is layer them in the baking pan.

Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or baggie.

Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly and press lightly into the melted butter.

Evenly cover the graham cracker crust with the coconut flakes, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pecans.

You can switch it up by using white chocolate chips instead of the and chopped walnuts.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top.

Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Watch closely, you want to be careful not to burn the coconut and it can happen very quickly.

Let cool about 5 minutes and run a knife around the edges of the baking dish to prevent sticking.

Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
