CHEF JEFF'S 7-LAYER BAR
"It's the ultimate comfort dessert; people rave about my 7-Layer Bar," says personal chef and caterer Jeff Blumsack of St. Augustine, Florida, whose primary focus is comfort food meals clients take home in a slow cooker. "I use this recipe for parties and it's always gobbled up off the dessert trays in two minutes and I also sell it to my Crockpot customers." The recipe has been passed from Blumsack's grandmother to his mother and now to him. "It's simple and decadent," he says.

Steps:
- Melt butter. Spread crushed graham crackers evenly in 9" x 11" pan. Drizzle butter evenly over graham crackers. Making sure to scatter each evenly, add chocolate bits, then butterscotch bits, walnut pieces and sweet coconut flakes. Spread sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. In preheated 375-degree F oven place pan on center rack for 25 minutes. Let cool for one hour and cut into 2" x 2" squares.
Tips:
- Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for this recipe. A larger or smaller pan will result in a different thickness of bars.
- Make sure the butter is very soft before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy frosting.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
- Be patient when chilling the bars. It is important to allow them to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
- When cutting the bars, use a sharp knife and cut them into small squares. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
