Seven Layer Bars~ Sheila

Seven Layer Bars

These are a Christmas favorite in my house and for me as a child.

There are other directions on the Internet--but this is how I have always made these cookies.

Ingredients:

• 1  to 11/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1/2 cup butter (salted), melted

• 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk

• 1 cup (6 oz.) butterscotch-flavored chips (about half the package)

• 1 cup (6 oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips (about half the package)
• 1 cup (6 oz pkg) of peanut butter chips (about half the package)

• 1  cup flaked coconut 

-Melt the butter (1/2 cup equals one stick) in the oven as the oven is heating to 350 degrees--use a 13 x 9 cake pan

-While you put together the rest of the ingredients, open the lid a little of the sweetened condensed milk and place in the oven to heat up the 

can, this will help with pouring it 

-Take the pan out of the oven when the butter is melted, sprinkle enough of the graham cracker crumbs over the melted butter until

the butter is soaked in and a crust is formed over the whole pan

-Sprinkle the 3 flavored chips on top of the graham cracker crumbs evenly

-Sprinkle the coconut on top of the chips--you can use more or less of coconut depending on taste

-Get the can of the warmed condensed milk and pour evenly over the top of all the ingredients

-Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes

-After the cookies bake for 30 minutes, I put the broiler on for about 3-5 minutes to brown the top--but, watch carefully because the cookies will burn easily if left in too long

The pan should cool completely before trying to cut. Depending on the size of the cookies cut, the yield should be 18-24 cookies.
