Why, Hello Dolly!

Who knew seven basic ingredients could be mixed together to create a treat no one can pass up?! I have been making Hello Dolly bars for at least a decade (we used to even make them in the TINY dorm kitchen at Taft!) and have posted the easy recipe on Monograms and Manicures before. These are always a hit and they are SO easy too. I figured a step-by-step demo would be the best way to show you just how easy these delights really are... just in time for weekend BBQs!

You will need:

Unsalted butter ( 3/4 of a stick)
Graham cracker crumbs (about a cup)
Semisweet chocolate chips (one bag)
Butterscotch chips (one bag)
Shredded coconut (around a cup)
Chopped walnuts or pecans (around half a cup)
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Melt your butter and mix in your crushed graham crackers to form your crust. You do not want your crust to be too buttery so add more crumbs if needed.
Now pour your bag of chocolate chips over the crust and spread them around evenly.
I add a tiny bit of coconut before adding the bag of butterscotch chips and then top things off with the rest of the coconut.

Now, open your can of condensed milk and drizzle it over the rest of your ingredients. Finally, top off your sugar heaven with the nuts...you are almost done! Bake your bars at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Let the bars cool and then cut into them and enjoy!!!
