Easy 7 Layer Bars

My 7 layer bars are made with a graham cracker crust, chocolate chips, butterscotch morsels, then topped off with coconut flakes and sweet condensed milk. They require minimal preparation and are so easy to make. Enjoy them on their own, serve them with a mug of hot cocoa, or dunk them in a sweet Cool Whip dip!

Ingredients

  • 12 sheets graham crackers
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch morsels
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a food processor or blender, crush the graham crackers, then add the melted butter to them and mix until combined.
  • Press the graham crackers into the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ingredients starting with the chocolate chips, then the butterscotch morsels, followed by the walnuts and lastly the coconut flakes.
  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the coconut flakes, using a spatula to evenly distribute it. Allow it to settle for a few minutes.
  • Bake the bars for 30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the middle is set.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting.

Notes

  • Use a spatula to spread the condensed milk evenly over the bars.
  • If a blender or food processor isn’t available, the graham crackers can be placed inside a plastic bag and crushed with a rolling pin.  
  • Be careful not to overbake them. They can quickly turn dry or burnt if not watched carefully. 
  • Allow them to fully cool before slicing. This allows them to firm up perfectly.
  • Refrigerating the bars for an additional 30 to 60 minutes after baking and cooling will help the layers continue to set. While this step is optional, I find it makes slicing easier!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
