seven layer bars

Stacked dessert squares

Seven layer bars are a dessert made by layering ingredients in a baking pan—typically a graham cracker crust topped with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts, all bound together with sweetened condensed milk.

The layers melt and fuse during baking into a dense, sticky bar cookie.

Also called magic bars or hello dollies.
