.0001 Second Hello Dolly/7 Layer Bars



The motivation behind the Hello Dolly was, well...the same motivation for most of my recipes...something was about to go bad and I had to do something FAST!

I had these delectable, crispy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that I surprisingly couldn't eat fast enough. For fear of losing these sweet nuggets of pleasure, I employed my Cuisinart and made the ultimate eezey-peezey dessert bar.

I threw the cookies, about 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs (enough crumbs to cover the bottom of a small glass dish or spring-form pan), and two tablespoons of melted butter into the Cuisinart and pulsed until incorporated. (If you don't have a Cuisinart, don't freak out, either smash the cookies in a Ziploc by hand or simply don't use them at all and just gently mix graham crackers and butter until well mixed instead).

Pack mixture down in the pan. Sprinkle the surface with chopped walnuts (or hazelnuts, or almonds), then chocolate chips (and butterscotch or white chocolate chips), then shredded coconut. Finally, take a can of sweetened condensed milk and drizzle over the top of all the layers. DO NOT MIX.

Place in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. The edges will be golden brown and the sweetened milk will seal all of the delicious layers of the bar. It's not really 7 layers, but it is 7th heaven....
