Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper that extends 2 inches on both ends. Lightly spray parchment with no-stick cooking spray; set pan aside.
- 2. Toss the graham crackers crumbs and butter together with a fork until crumbs are evenly coated.
- 3. Place crumb mixture in prepared baking pan, and use your fingertips to pat crumbs into a single layer that covers the bottom of the baking pan. Run the back of a large spoon over the surface to form a smooth, flat layer.
- 4. Evenly sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top. Then add a layer of chocolate chips, nuts, cranberries, and coconut (in that order). Evenly drizzle the condensed milk over the top.
- 5. Place baking dish in oven and bake for about 22 to 28 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around edges and the center is mostly set. Watch closely in the final few minutes of baking time, because the coconut can burn quite quickly.
- 6. Place pan on a wire rack to cool in pan for at least 2 hours (or longer) before slicing and serving. Bars will firm up as they cool. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or for up to 6 months in the freezer if wrapped well and kept in airtight container.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. (325 degrees F. for glass or dark non-stick pan). Coat a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment.
- 2. In small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Mix sweetened condensed milk with vanilla. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. Spread with an offset spatula to completely cover graham cracker crust. Empty chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into a bowl and mix together to combine (this step isn't necessary, but does ensure an equal distribution of chips). If desired, mix coconut and nuts together in the same way as chips to ensure an even distribution. Layer crust with chocolate chips and butterscotch chips; then layer with coconut and nuts. Press down lightly with a fork so that toppings partially sink into sweetened condensed milk.
- 3. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Very lightly press mixture with offset spatula to ensure toppings stay in place after cutting. Cool. Cut into bars.

Steps:
- Melt butter in bottom of 9x13 pan. Mix in graham cracker crumbs and press into bottom of pan, evenly. Layer remaining ingredients one-by-one on top of each other in pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a large baking dish: A 13x9 inch baking dish is the perfect size for this recipe. It will allow you to create thick, even layers and ensure that the bars are cooked through evenly.
- Don't overbeat the cream cheese and butter: Overbeating will make the mixture too fluffy and difficult to spread. Beat until just combined.
- Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about seven-layer bars is that you can customize them to your liking. Some popular toppings include chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, and coconut.
- Chill the bars before cutting: This will help them set and make them easier to cut into clean, even pieces.

With their rich, decadent flavor and variety of textures, these bars are sure to be a favorite in your home. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give seven-layer bars a try.
