Hello Dollies

Also known as Seven Layer Bars, these are a delicious sweet treat, perfect for passing out to your neighbors or co-workers as a holiday gift!  The best part is you probably have all the ingredients on hand, or at least most of them.

Recipe Source

Here's what you need:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup white sugar (I used less than this)

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Here's what to do:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 9x9 inch baking pan. Layer the chocolate chips, coconut and pecans over the crumbs. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool and cut into squares.

Tips & Tricks:
-One reviewer suggested heating the milk in the microwave to pour it evenly over the bars - this was very helpful!
-Multiple reviewers said to leave out the white sugar, but one mentioned that it helped the crust stay together so I decided to add about 1/8 cup.
-I also decided to used a 9 x 13 pan so that the bars would be a little thinner, which was a good choice.
-I only put pecans on about 2/3 since some people don't like or are allergic to nuts.  They still taste great without nuts!
