Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c sugar
1 (14 oz.) can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1-2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 (11 oz.) pkg semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (may substitute any flavor of chips, chopped candy, etc.)
1 (11oz.) pkg butterscotch chips (may substitute any flavor of chips, chopped candy, etc.)
1 1/3 c flaked coconut
1 c chopped pecans (may substitute any kind of nut)

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.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your seven-layer bars. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and good-quality chocolate chips.
Don't overbeat the butter and sugar: Overbeating can make the bars tough. Beat them just until they are light and fluffy.
Press the graham cracker crust firmly into the pan: This will help to prevent the crust from cracking when you cut the bars.
Chill the bars before cutting: Chilling the bars will make them easier to cut and will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Store the bars in an airtight container: The bars can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Seven-layer bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With their combination of chocolate, coconut, nuts, and graham crackers, they are a delicious and satisfying treat. If you are looking for a dessert that is sure to please a crowd, give these seven-layer bars a try.
