Maybe it’s a family thing or maybe it’s a Wisconsin/midwestern tradition, but around the holidays we’ve always baked a lot. Then when you’re invited to holiday parties or when people stop over it’s really easy to make a tray of treats for your party host or your guests. This month I have a few parties to go to and I also wanted to revisit some old recipes so I baked up a storm this weekend.
Here’s one of the things I made: Seven Layer Bars. Super easy to make and they’re really rich and sweet. Almost like a candy bar. This is something my mom would make a lot when we were growing up. I used her recipe, as follows:
Seven Layer Bars
From: Mom
Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a 13×9 pan. Then sprinkle in (in order):
- 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
- 1 c. chocolate chips
- 1 c. butterscotch chips
- 1 c. flaked coconut
- 1 c. chopped nuts
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes.
These have already disappeared into our bellies. Thanks for sharing – YUM!
drooool.
;o)
I just made my first batch of the season on Sunday. We call them Hello Dollies. I don’t know why. I’m from Wisconsin, so maybe it is a midwestern thing. Awesome way to display the recipe!
My mom makes these every Christmas. I am so looking forward to them. YUM!
YOU ARE EATING TOO MUCH!!!
only EVERY DAY
Those look so yummy. Are they too sweet though?
As a kid in Rochester NY (not the mid-west but heading that way) my friend’s mom she made the cookies shown here and also called them “hello dollies” just like Sarah does.
Is one of the layers really butter? Nice.
I am SO coming to your house for Christmas.
Hi. I made these bars over the weekend. I traded the butterscotch chips for coarsely crumbled english toffee.The bars turned out yummy.. thanks for the recipe. I am getting ready to try the pecan fingers sometime this week.

ohh.. toffee.. good idea.
instead of condense milk can we replace that with Skim Milk (Soy Milk)? The cookie bars look yummy.
