Servings 9 people
Hello Dolly Bars are the ultimate sweet and gooey treat that’s loaded with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans, shredded coconut and moistened with sweetened condensed milk!
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs about 6 graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup butterscotch chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans or other nut of choice
- ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the crumbs, melted butter, and salt to a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the crumbs to the prepared pan and use the bottom of a flat glass or your hands to press the crumbs down evenly to cover the bottom.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and pecans on top of the sweetened condensed milk.
- Sprinkle the coconut over the chips then top with the remaining chips and nuts and gently press down.
- Bake for 25 minutes, the top should be a golden brown and the center will still wiggle. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
- Traditionally these are made with the coconut completely over the rest of the ingredients, but I think that this method makes them look more appetizing and prevents the coconut from getting too toasted.
- I recommend using a pan with straight sides for best results.
- These are also called 7 layer bars.
- I add additional salt to the crust because the rest of the bars are really sweet and I think the butter and salt in the crust balance it out some.
- To make a 9x13-inch pan: Double everything except for the sweetened condensed milk and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
