Treats of Christmas!

 Day 4: 7 layer bars


Earl always makes these.  Super easy, and can be whipped up in a flash since we tend to have all ingredients in the cupboard... stores well in the cold for later serving... (like weeks later if you're so inclined.)

 Ingredients:
  • 1/2 stick of butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1 bag (12 oz) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 bag (12 oz) Butterscotch Chips
  • approx. 2 cups of chopped walnuts
  • 1 14oz. can sweetend condensed milk
  • approx. 2 cups of shredded sweetened coconut
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place butter in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
  3. Place pan into oven to melt butter and tilt around to coat pan evenly.
  4. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the butter and pack down with your hands to form the crust.
  5. Add the next 3 ingredients in order; chocolate chips, butterscotch and walnuts.
  6. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chips.
  7. Sprinkle the coconut on top.
  8. Bake for about 30 minutes or until coconut is golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 2-3 hours before cutting into squares.
Note:  The crust can be crumbly and likes to stick to the pan; make sure you cut into the crust completely and  'pop' it out like you would a cheesecake crust... get under it with a spatula or knife while you're trying to remove servings.
